National Account Manager - (Sports) Nutrition - Contract Manufacturing

The Client

Part of an international group, with very healthy financials and a strong reputation, particularly for those in the know . Offering contract manufacturing services, companies like this often fly under the radar - but the brands they work with are instantly recognisable. With extensive capabilities, an experienced NPD team and a supportive Customer Service team, staff turnover is low. However, a National Account Manager is now required to focus on the Nutrition side of the business.

The Role Includes:

• Managing a mix of existing accounts (Holland & Barrett, for example) and developing new business
• Working closely with the NPD team to offer bespoke solutions
• Identifying and approaching new customers in sports nutrition and clinical nutrition
• Attending industry exhibitions

It is home-based, with regular national travel and infrequent international travel too.

We Are Looking For:

- Account management experience in the food industry, with a link to healthy and nutritious products

- A track record of growing existing current accounts, as well as winning new business

- Experience of working with an NPD team to offer viable customer solutions - a Food Science degree would be advantageous

- A strong interest in sports nutrition is essential
