Job Details

The business we are representing is a fast-paced, innovative food business that operate across ambient categories and are viewed as a market leader. Our client is a UK manufacturer and can offer both branded and private-label products to their customer base. They are strongly associated with product quality and can boast strong positioning in grocery retail and all other major customer channels. They are enjoying a period of sustained growth and as a result are looking to add a National Account Manager to their commercial team.

As National Account Manager, you will report directly into the Sales Manager. This person will have full P&L responsibility for a portfolio of established, existing accounts, likely to include Tesco, M&S and/or major discounters. The role offers the chance to become an integral part of a growing area of the business. You will also target new business opportunities in current accounts and with new customers. You will work closely with other areas of the senior management, NPD and technical teams.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate previous experience of managing National Accounts in an FMCG environment, ideally with at least one grocery retailer. You may currently be a National Account Executive or Junior National Account Manager and looking to progress with a forward-thinking business. It would be beneficial if this person has operated in a branded and private label manufacturing environment. You must be self-motivated, enthusiastic and a team player. The business can offer a great career path and progression within the group for successful people.

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
