Job Details
We are currently recruiting for two fantastic opportunities with one of the UK’s best-loved, premium brands in the food industry. They are a dynamic business with huge ambition to continue the rapid growth they have enjoyed in recent years. The brand is now number 1 in the category and has established itself as a major player both in the UK and internationally. Our client are now part of one of the UK’s leading, privately owned food businesses with very strong history and heritage.
The business is growing rapidly but has managed to retain its core values and entrepreneurial spirit. As a UK manufacturer, it remains at the forefront of innovation and is clearly ahead of the competition.Due to this growth brings the need for more great people across commercial functions. Two opportunities have arisen for a National Account Manager and a Senior National Account Manager to join the business.
Both roles offer full P&L responsibility for Top 5 grocery retailers. You will work cross functionally with all other areas of the business including category, marketing and logistics as part of your role. This person must be commercially aware, highly analytical and have excellent communication skills. You must enjoy working in a fast-paced, creative environment as part of a close-knit team striving to be successful.
These opportunities are very well suited to National Account Executive’s, National Account Manager’s or Senior National Account Manager’s looking for an opportunity to progress their career with a market leading branded food business. Experience and exposure to grocery retailers is of high importance for both roles. It would be highly beneficial to be currently working with or have worked with a branded product in an FMCG environment during your career. Candidates that have worked for a grocery retailer and are looking to move into a supplier/manufacturing environment will be considered. This person must have energy, resilience and the ability to create and communicate a vision of success.

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.
