This is an exciting opportunity to work as a Grocery National Account Executive for an award winning SME in the Food industry. Focused on offering healthy products, created with 100% Natural ingredients and backed by leading nutritionists this SME is a true challenger in a Blue-Chip dominated market. A drive to grow and a recent expansion into the Healthy snacking sector has led our client to look for a National Account Executive to drive continued success within their grocery channels.

  • Develop full understanding of each account to fully maximise sales volume

  • To work with marketing to organise and plan promotions and events throughout the year to drive sales
  • Build strong relationships with key accounts, helping to manage promotions, trade spend and POS
  • Developing and nurturing existing business to increase their rates of sale and distribution

To be a successful National Account Executive you will be:

 

  • A smart, analytical self-starter who relishes the responsibility of working with multiple key accounts
  • An entrepreneurial thinker who is comfortable working in a fast-paced SME environment
  • At least 2 years of experience working in an FMCG, retail buying or consumer agency environment
  • Strong commercial acumen
  • Excellent communication skills; verbal & written
  • A good problem-solver
  • Someone who is hungry to drive for growth for the company and your own career progression
  • A collaborative work style with strong customer and consumer focus
  • Confident personality - You need to be comfortable speaking to everyone and working as part of a small team
  • Great organisational skills - Someone with excellent attention to detail and organisational skills who doesn't mind multi-tasking and re-prioritising (sometimes daily in our fast-paced business!)

This role would be ideal for someone looking to join an SME in a period of rapid growth. You will join a fun, hardworking team dedicated to delivering high quality, natural products. If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, call us on 0207 042 3800.
