Job Details
The company we are representing is a fast-paced, innovative health food and nutrition business that operate in a number of on-trend ambient product categories. They can demonstrate sustained growth as a business and are building a growing reputation across the UK market. This is an entrepreneurial, dynamic environment with a friendly, open culture. The business is part of a wider group which can offer strong financial backing and supports ambitious long-term growth plans. An opportunity has arisen for a National Account Manager to join the commercial team, managing the convenience channel.
Reporting into the UK Account Controller this person will be fully responsible for the Convenience and Impulse sector. You will take full ownership of this area across multiple channels. Account base and target customers will include Booker, Spar, One-Stop, McColl’s and forecourts for example. The role will be focussed on delivering budget targets, maximising all revenue and building strong customer relationships. Part of the role will involve new business development.

This opportunity is very well suited to National Account Manager’s with experience of selling into the Convenience and Impulse sector such as the customer’s listed above. Candidate’s currently at Junior National Account or National Account Executive level will also be considered. It would be beneficial to have worked in a health-based product category however candidates from food/FMCG will all still be considered. If you are looking to join a business with a fantastic close-knit culture that can offer a great career path this would suit very well. An interest in healthy living, nutrition or sports would make this role a great fit.
Please forward a copy of your CV if you feel you have relevant experience.
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.
