National Account Executive
đź“Ť Dunstable
Company
Are you looking to kickstart your career in sales with one of the UK’s leading food manufacturers? 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. Recent years have seen major investment in state-of-the-art facilities and the launch of a hugely popular consumer brand — and now, they’re looking for an ambitious National Account Executive to join their expanding commercial team.
About the Role
As a National Account Executive, you’ll play a key role in supporting the commercial strategy, managing smaller customer accounts, helping to deliver sales growth, and working alongside experienced National Account Managers. 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.
