National Account Manager – Grocery
Hybrid – London Bridge (2 days every other week)
£55,000–£60,000 + car allowance + 20% bonus + benefits
We’re delighted to be supporting a values-led food business that’s undergone a significant transformation over the last 15 months. Under the leadership of a new CEO and with a clear strategic direction in place, the company has repositioned itself as a focused, ambitious, and brand-led business with a strong sense of identity and purpose.
As part of a newly formed business unit, we’re looking for a commercially confident National Account Manager to lead and grow this strategically important customer. This role is more than just account management – it’s about being part of a collaborative project team, shaping the future of a high-growth channel, and helping embed a culture of openness, accountability, and ambition.
You’ll be based remotely with 2 in-person team days per month (week 2 and week 4) at the London Bridge office, where collaboration and planning will take priority over presentism.
Key Responsibilities:
* Take full P&L ownership of the account and deliver the JBP in line with business targets
* Lead internal cross-functional collaboration to ensure flawless execution across the plan
* Help formalise and embed processes within the newly created business unit
* Work alongside the Controller and wider project team to scale from pilot to success
* Bring strategic and instinctive thinking to the table – always looking for what else is happening in the market
* Act as a brand ambassador who lives the values and contributes to an open, high-performance culture
What we’re looking for:
* Proven NAM experience in UK Grocery – ideally with Top 4 Retailers
* Confident managing JBPs and building trusted retailer relationships
* Able to thrive in a business that’s still building frameworks and welcomes agility
* Gravitas, commercial acumen, and the instinct to navigate ambiguity with confidence
* Someone who values working with good people and contributing positively to team culture
* Authentic, honest, and not afraid to say “I don’t know” – you’ll be valued for your potential as much as your CV
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a tight-knit £70m business at a pivotal stage in its journey – with a great leadership team, exciting growth plans, and a genuine focus on its people.
