Senior National Account Manager – Award-Winning, Category defining brand
London
* £80,000 - £90,000 Basic salary
* 25% Bonus
* Pension
* Subsidised gym membership
BACKGROUND
This is a brilliant business to be part of. Shaping the wider category, they are growing at an unprecedented rate, both in the UK and internationally.
Working closely with the Commercial Director and Business unit head you will take ownership of some of the Top 4 Grocery Accounts. But this is not just about managing relationships – this is about growth! Opportunity for their products is everywhere and your natural curiosity and tenacity to make things happen will stand out.
But it is no good just making things happen.
You will relish setting the robust and innovative strategy and be unrelenting in your quest to deliver against it.
There will be plenty of support along the way, from Brand to Insight and Category Data to compelling Shopper Campaigns – the team is in this together.
OPPORTUNITY
The last few years have seen phenomenal growth for this on-trend, healthy food business. With turnover increasing more than four-fold the trajectory shows no sign of slowing down.
Increased distribution, award-winning new products combined with changing consumer behaviour have been the major pillars for success. Not to mention the brilliant commercial team behind it.
In line with the exciting plans, we are looking to speak to talented, well-trained, and ambitious people who want to make things happen.
ABOUT YOU
Preferably you will understand the landscape – you will always be coming up with ideas and will be passionate about seeing them come to fruition. You will also have the perfect balance between team player and pioneer.
You will be a brilliant relationship builder and networker but never lose sight of what the end goals are. Therefore, blending a structure and process-driven approach with a natural entrepreneurial flair is key
Experience of working in a high-growth environment and therefore what that takes is a distinct advantage. However, if you are currently working for one of the likely suspects/large players in the UK FMCG market and think there could be more to life (you’d be right) then we want to hear from you. Time to make all that training count!
It is also imperative that you have experience of working with accounts within the Grocery Retail Estate – e.g., Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys, Waitrose, M&S. etc – without this it will be pretty difficult to come in and make an impact!
