Job Details

We are delighted to once again be asked to support a key client identify a new National Account Manager to join their team.

As a leading supplier or premium, healthy snacking products within the food-to-go space, the business has enjoyed rapid growth over recent years resulting in the creation of a new National Account Manager role to assume full accountability for one of their leading grocery retail partnerships, Sainsbury’s.

The business environment / culture will suit ambitious individuals that thrive off the pace of private label manufacturing, enjoying hands on management of innovation and category management disciplines to continuously develop cutting, on-trend health-driven ranges in partnership with Sainsbury’s.

Experience of operating within private label manufacturing environments is essential, however direct experience with Sainsbury’s, whilst advantageous is crucial. 

The business is looking to identify those already operating at National Account Manager level within grocery retail or discounter channels but will also consider those currently at Account / Commercial Executive level ready to make the next step forward in their career.

As the lead supplier to Sainsbury’s within their respective categories, this role offers a great opportunity for those looking to work in partnership with Sainsbury’s to ensure they remain the number one choice for consumers that enjoy innovative healthy snacking alternatives.

As the business continues to grow, swift career development opportunities will be presented, and the business always looks to develop its own team before considering external options.

So, if you’re attracted by the prospect of working within innovative health-focussed categories and driving better eating habits for todays busy consumers, please get in touch via the details provided.

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.
