Job Details

My Client

We are excited to be working with this company to recruit a National Account Manager as my client is viewed as a ‘hero’ brand within the FMCG arena. They have a brand and strategy that is the envy of their competitors [and this envy goes wider than just the consumer space!] and are frequently on the ‘wish list’ of companies to work for when we speak with candidates.

They have a reputation for being a great employer as they encourage autonomy and creativity and do not put barriers or red tape in the way of people achieving this! There is a strong track record of internal promotions with training and development to support this. Progression does not have to be linear either, they support a breadth of experience and encourage team members so move laterally around departments to get exposure to all areas of the commercial business.

Based in West London

The Role

This National Account Manager will be responsible for a selection of wholesale and convenience accounts, the exact customers will depend on the strength, preference and skill set of the successful candidate for this role. You will be owning the trading relationship from top to bottom and will have the autonomy to build your own promotional plans, business plans and strategy within the customer.

Wholesale/Convenience is a relatively new but high potential area for this brand so there is plenty of scope for this role to become a SNAM position in the short to medium term.

Based in West London

The Person

Culture fit is important, everyone wants to progress and do well in this business but not to the detriment or expense of their colleagues. People work collaboratively, support each other but also respectfully push and challenge each other when it is needed.
