Job Details

Senior NAM – Foodservice National Wholesalers.

Our client already enjoys an enviable reputation in the spices and seasonings category, however they are about to launch an exciting new range of ready-made and semi-made sauces, having been designed with the foodservice channel specifically in mind. The sauces have been designed to appeal to the cost conscious and busy chef, and is anticipated that take up of the new products will be both substantial and rapid, alongside the existing product range which is already well received.

We have been briefed to identify and recruit an experience Senior NAM to monitor and manage performance of the delivered wholesale National Accounts team. The role is part man management and past account management, so your man management skills should be as sharp as your account management skills. To be considered for this exciting position you should have sold into the Foodservice National Wholesalers such as Brakes, Bidvest or similar etc as well as having at least some experience in man management.

You should be able to demonstrate by example your previous man management experience, and it is essential you operate a collaborative management style as our client is very much looking for a mentor as opposed to a Sergeant Major. That said, you should be able to quickly command the respect of your colleagues, who will be fully aware you will be quite prepared to wield the stick if the carrot fails ! We have been asked to stress however that the company’s management style is very much carrot based, and the working environment is happy and relaxed, and a great environment for talented people to develop their skills and their careers alike.

You will of course enjoy the full support of a highly experienced senior management team based from Head Office in Holland.

The role involves a substantial amount of driving and regular overnight stops. You will also be required to attend regular meetings at Head Office in Holland (  probably once every two to three months and two to three days in duration).

In return for you dedication and effort, our client is prepared to pay a basic salary of between £55,158 to £61,098 plus bonus, and company car. Career prospects and opportunities for personal development are excellent.
