This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-growing business that supplies some of the nation’s favourite products to retailers, wholesalers, and foodservice customers across the UK and beyond. With a proud heritage in bakery and a track record of innovation and growth, this business has gone from a small family operation to an international success story.

You’ll gain hands-on exposure to customer relationships, category insights, and the commercial levers that drive growth in a fast-paced FMCG environment. Your key responsibilities will include: * Supporting account management across Retail, Wholesale, and Foodservice channels. * Assisting in the development of customer presentations and sales materials. * Tracking sales performance, analysing data, and contributing to forecasts. * Working closely with cross-functional teams (marketing, category, supply chain) to deliver customer plans. * Identifying opportunities for growth and supporting new business initiatives. About You We’re looking for a confident, proactive individual who’s eager to learn and grow within a thriving FMCG business. You’ll bring: * A degree and some commercial or client-facing experience (placements welcome). * Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills, with attention to detail and numerical confidence. * Excellent communication and organisational abilities. * A positive, can-do attitude with the energy and ambition to develop in sales. * A collaborative mindset and the resilience to thrive in a fast-paced environment. This role offers genuine career development, mentorship from senior commercial leaders, and the chance to progress in a business that’s continuing to expand both in the UK and internationally. If you’re passionate about food and ready to build a career in account management, we’d love to hear from you. Location: Head office based Dunstable
