National Account Executive - Wholesale & Nisa

A great brand! A great business! A great opportunity! This business has a very successful history, and is known for producing category leading brands which have high affinity levels with the consumer. Importantly they are extremely well considered in the trade, and have recently embarked on an aggressive growth agenda backed up by a clear strategy following recent senior appointments. This organisation suits those who can thrive in an autonomous but challenging environment, and those who will rise to a challenge and enjoy being given responsibility, exceeding argents and challenging the status quo.

Having identified the Wholesale Channel as a key driver in this growth, and the development of a new structure to support this, the business is looking to appoint a National Account Executive to support this channel. Reporting to the Channel Manager, you will be given P&L responsibility for three key customers Dhamecha, Parfetts and Hyperama, , support the Channel Manager directly on strategic projects with the largest relationships, and also provide support to the Nisa Account Manager in creating a plan for growth to target new Nisa members.. This is a great opportunity for someone to step into national accounts and gain valuable experience interacting at buyer level and managing P&L’s, developing their commercial skills in order to prepare them for a varied commercial career.

You will be a strong Regional Account Executive, or Regional Account Manager, or existing National Account Executive with experience in the wholesale channel. You will have had exposure to buyers either at a regional or national level, understand how to interact with them, and critically how to build relationships and win in this particular customer channel. You may not have managed P&L directly previously, but you will demonstrate good commercial acumen and have gained an understanding of P&L management though additional learning or colleagues, and be looking to take the step into a role given you full accountability as part of your development. Fundamentally, you must be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the workings of the Wholesale Channel, and the key success factors or drivers in order to deliver success.

This is a development role for this business, and we’re looking for people eager to take a step into a leading branded business in national accounts role, and who can develop and gain further responsibility quickly in role, before progressing into bigger opportunities within the team.
