National Account Controller

Interested in a start-up? Want to be the one setting direction and driving the growth strategy? Whilst you’ll be supported by the founders who both have a great deal of FMCG sales and marketing experience you can really make an impact here and will be the one who they put their trust into to deliver!  A unique opportunity and amazingly exciting!

This position offers:

• Flexible working (home based contract) – take as much time at home or time in London as desired.
• A small close-knit team and alongside the two founders from blue chip backgrounds, a mentor who holds gravitas in the industry to learn from.
• The chance to work in healthy living with a genuine USP and whilst sitting in a crowded category, you will be holding all the cards!!! (Yes, that deserves 3 exclamation marks)
• The ability to fast track your career and join at the start of something about to hit the big time.
• The opportunity to be you – no drama, no politics, no red tape, no stereotypes – let’s do this!!
• The ability to fast track your career – this has real legs on it!

So – Senior National Account Manager/ Controller – what will you be up to in this role?

• Growing volume, value and distribution
• Properly disrupting the category
• Developing significant grocery retail relationships enabling NPD, further listings and pushing out the old and in with the new!
• Enabling compelling sampling campaigns and developing an emotional connection utilising ATL advertising
• Developing a UK sales strategy continuing the triple digit growth
• Team leadership and development

I could go on but you get the gist!  Let’s talk it through instead…

In brief – what are we looking for in the person who will be successful in the appointment?

• You’ll be comfortable with being uncomfortable
• A self-starter… an understatement for you.  You have sheer drive and tenacity which will come from an inherent fear of failure and the desire to make something your own.
• Not only can you come up with a sales strategy, you can implement it.  You’re a dooer who understands the power of brand and market trends.
• You will have a solid understanding of the grocery retail landscape
• Ideally you’ll have worked for both a blue chip and an SME in the FMCG world but this isn’t a necessity – you just have to be an FMCG professional who has a passion for the industry.
• This is a start-up – you have to be willing to get involved in everything!
• You’ll be strong with numbers and P&L management – again, this is a start-up, you won’t be wrapped up in cotton wool – you’re the expert here.

Again, I could go on – let’s chat this through if it’s an opportunity that could excite you. This position provides share options and a stake in the business so a real opportunity to make something big.  They’re at the scaling up stage so a fantastic time to join and really get things going.   This is a once in a lifetime opportunity – get in touch if you’d like to learn more.
