Job Description
National Account Manager – Private Label Retail - £50,000 to £60,000 Salary
Manchester (Hybrid)
This isn’t a role where you inherit a quiet account base and spend your week “checking in” with customers.
You’ll be owning national retail accounts with full commercial responsibility — sales, margin, strategy, negotiations, the lot.
A proper NAM role with visibility and influence.
The role
It’s a mix of account growth, strategic planning, and making sure opportunities actually turn into revenue.
You’ll be:
* Building and delivering Joint Business Plans
* Managing pricing, contracts, margin and commercial negotiations
* Working cross-functionally with finance, operations, supply chain and category teams
* Leading customer meetings and strategic reviews
* Driving volume and margin growth across the accounts
* Monitoring sales performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
What they’re looking for:
* Experience managing national retail accounts within FMCG
* Private label experience helps, but not essential
* Strong commercial awareness and confidence around P&L ownership
* Comfortable working in a margin-focused environment
* Someone who can build relationships internally and externally without relying on job titles to do the work for them
If you want a role where you can genuinely influence customer strategy and commercial growth — rather than just maintain an account — it’s worth a conversation.
