Senior National Account Manager

Senior National Account Manager

The Freixenet Group is a global leader in the production of sparkling wines, serving over 150 countries. The production of Cava and other Spanish wines has remained core to a family ownership dating back almost two centuries. Today Freixenet also produces other high quality wines around the world, most recently launching a premium Prosecco.  Their ambition for growth is relentless and to achieve that aim requires even more sales talent with an equal zest for success.

This is an opportunity for an experienced National Account Manager to take control of a portfolio of their top Grocery customers and champion even more growth in a truly accountable role. 

As Senior National Account Manager, you will be integral to the decisions and choices of the commercial agenda. Your day to day responsibilities will be those of a classic Customer Manager, looking for fresh, added value opportunities and ways of bringing meaningful joint business plans to life. You’ll also present category focused strategies in structured ways to forge deeper trade relationships on a more strategic scale. 

You are commercially astute, understand the numbers and bring these skills to your creation of great customer plans. Not only do you have a real depth of structured account management knowledge gained from recognised experience in an FMCG sales career, you have also built a network of contacts and a decent reputation within the Buyer community of leading Grocers. A solid, self-assured and confident individual, you possess the personal gravitas to influence members of the team and will be expected to lead change in ways to build more business success. 
If you are looking for an autonomous ‘go getting’ culture you will have the freedom to utilise your own skills here, working for an ambitious leadership team who fundamentally believe the foundation of any great business lies in its people, great people at that.  Freixenet enjoys a fast paced, progressive and open culture that values getting things done over bureaucracy and is determined to attract even more commercial talent with the potential to grow beyond this role.
