Job Details
Our client supplies well-loved food brands familiar to us all. Consumers are as passionate about their brands today as they were 50 years ago, and consider them to be trustworthy, healthy and quality driven.
The business is widely respected amongst its peers for maintaining its core values and strong brand equity, whilst enjoying impressive growth over recent years. Culturally the business is well known for investing in people and boasts extremely low staff attrition levels as a result.
It is clear as the business continues to grow that significant career-development opportunities will be presented to those who deliver good results for the business.
As a result of recent succession planning, the business is looking to recruit a new National Account Manager to drive new and existing sales with a key, strategic customer account – Waitrose. Alongside the Waitrose account, a lead Discounter account will also be assigned to this role.
Having worked closely with Waitrose over recent years, predominantly via the supply of premium private label offerings, our client has now established themselves as a recognised partner.
The focus for this opportunity will therefore be around further developing this key customer relationship, driving new innovation, and increasing profitable sales.
In order to succeed it is vital that the successful candidate is able to demonstrate knowledge of, and a successful record whilst working with Waitrose.
Being familiar with premium private label offerings, being passionate about innovation, and demonstrate a strong project management skillset for multi-site, cross functional working.
Being a truly homebased position, a successful record whilst working remotely at times will also be advantageous and aid your application.
So, if you’re looking for an opportunity with home working flexibility, thrive off product innovation, and believe you would excel in a ‘recognised partner’ relationship with Waitrose, please get in touch.
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.
