Role: National Account Executive Channel: Buying Groups
Salary: £35,000 – £40,000 + £5,000 car allowance
We are delighted to partner with a high-growth British drinks brand to lead the search on a National Account Executive to join their expanding commercial team. This is an ambitious, agile, and values-driven business, well-backed and a serious appetite for growth.
With a team made up of commercial talent from brands like Kraft Heinz, Birds Eye, and Unilever, you'll be learning from the best in a non-hierarchical, empowering culture. The business believes in autonomy, development and trust – you'll be given the tools, training, and space to make an impact.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take ownership of national account responsibilities and develop into a National Account Manager role in the near future.
You’ll support the Head of Foodservice by managing two product portfolio accounts, including full P&L ownership. You’ll also work selected buying groups, helping to execute plans, manage existing customer relationships, and deliver profitable growth.
There’s also a new business element to the role – prospecting and developing opportunities within the wider buying group and wholesale channel. Support national and regional buying groups, managing promotions, pricing and activation plans.
Take full ownership of the customer relationship, P&L and support JBP.
Work closely with senior leaders and commercial colleagues to deliver growth.
Prospect and develop new opportunities across wholesale.
Gain access to top-class training – from negotiation courses to account strategy development.
We’re looking for someone currently in a Key Account Executive, National Account Executive, or even a Graduate Sales Scheme role with exposure to either wholesale, convenience/impulse or buying groups.
You might not tick every box, but if you're a determined self-starter, commercially astute, and ready to take your account management career to the next level – we want to hear from you.
FMCG background – food, drink, confectionery or BWS ideal.
Buying group, wholesale or convenience exposure (bonus, not essential).
Strong commercial mindset – understands the building blocks of good account management.
