I am representing a rapidly growing, exciting drinks business on a National Account Manager opportunity, supporting their Grocery channel. They are a leading player within their field and due to their exceptional growth, they are hiring for this position.
You will come on board as part of their Commercial Team where your main focus will be to drive, develop and grow the existing relationships in place across their full product portfolio, over 15 purely branded products.
You will work very closely with internal functions and you’ll be a naturally driven individual as you will get the autonomy to push forward ideas and take full ownership of some of their main retail accounts.
You can be office based except when out visiting your customer base. You will be expected to travel to them to ensure you stay the face of the business and continuously build the relationship.
You will have previous sales experience working with the Major Multiples, experience of managing a P&L and working with the customers within the food and drinks category is essential (of course drinks is desirable!). You will be an effective relationship builder who has a structured and analytical way of thinking with an exceptional eye for detail.
