Account Controller (SNAM) - Grocery

Account Controller  – Healthy Drinks Brand  

Home based with 2-3 days in South East office 

Excellent package

Our brief is for a leading European company operating in heathy and sustainable food & drink. They have a single-minded focus on health, nutrition and organic food, which is both for people and for the good of the environment. Operating across a number of categories they have a portfolio of well loved brands and hold a strong trading position which is delivering healthy growth!

We are looking for someone to lead the Commercial Management for a Healthy Drinks brand across all major retailers. This is a chunky role where you will hold full accountability for the Commercial Strategy & Brand Development whilst managing all Top 5 Grocery retailers. Responsible for managing each relationship; every JBP and P&L; but with key role in aligning the brand and company to each customer’s vision. Building on a solid platform and trade position, they are now looking for a dynamic SNAM to play a pivotal role in achieving 2018 growth plans, land NPD and strategically develop the accounts/brand further. 

In essence this will be as close to managing your own business unit within a highly supported company environment. They are a fairly lean operation in the UK and we need individuals that are category-focused and strong leading cross-functional teams to ensure success. Successful candidates will come with a track-record of success within Retail Buying or FMCG account management in a branded environment; experience within the Top 5 Grocers would be a pre-requisite. Strong negotiation and presentation skills are essential. A genuine flair for building strategic customer relationships and multi-level networking are a must. 

If you are energetic, action orientated and hold strong personal values for quality, natural, organic food & drink then you will relish this opportunity! You will be operating in a medium sized company where you will have real autonomy and be part of something special, if you are tired of being a cog in the machine and the ability to make a difference appeals, then we would love to hear from you.
