Senior National Account Manager/Commercial Manager - Arts & Crafts

Senior National Account Manager – Arts and Crafts
£55,125 to £60,142 Basic plus bonus and company car.

Our client is already an international success in Europe and the United States of America. They are also part of a much larger multinational company encompassing three continents, and are now poised to dramatically expand their operation here in the UK, and are investing in new infrastructure and offices near Bristol within the next few weeks. This is backed by a substantial investment by the parent company in America. The current UK business is at present imported, but it is now the company’s intention to manufacture and warehouse product here in the UK, for both logistical and cost reasons.

To be considered for this exciting role, you should already be an accomplished national account / senior national account manager with a breadth of experience in the top four Grocery multiples; it would be ideal if you also had some kind of exposure to either the specialist hobby / arts and crafts retail channel or Online sales although these are not by any means essential. The role has three direct reports ( two national account executives and a sales support administrator ) so it would be something of a bonus if you already enjoyed some kind of man management experience.

We have been advised to consider applications from candidates from all FMCG categories however you would be at a slight advantage if you had experience of either Arts and Crafts or Stationery.

In return for you hard work and dedication, our client is prepared to pay a basic salary of between £55,125 to £60,142 plus bonus and company car.
