Job Details

Do you want to work for a rapidly expanding food brand that produces excellent quality vegan and organic products?

This fantastic corporation currently sell into major retailers such as Ocado, Wholefoods and Waitrose, and they are looking for you to come on board and drive their Wholesale/Cash&Carry channel. They also export to several countries including Portugal, Spain and Hong Kong.

They are seeking a passionate Account Manager to join their intimate, fast paced team.

You will come with an entrepreneurial mind and the attitude to make a positive impact to ultimately drive forward growth.

You will be supported by the Commercial Director as you manage their existing customers, plan promotions, organising marketing activities and support future NPD. If you are looking for a new challenge where you can be involved in every aspect of an FMCG function and truly make an impact, this is the role for you.

You will be based at their office in Islington and will be the face of the brand when frequently visiting your customers to build and expand upon your client base.

You will be targeted on both your account management abilities as well as new businesses you bring on.

You will ideally have previous FMCG sales experience and evidence of working with UK Wholesalers, however personality and culture fit is highly important for this business. If you are looking for a step up for the opportunity to manage National accounts, then this could be the role for you.

They are looking for an individual to start within the next month, so interviews will be held immediately.
