Senior National Account Manager

Description:

We're looking for a Senior National Account Manager who’s experienced in Grocery and can make things happen.

This is a proper role with real responsibility. You'll own a multi-million-pound portfolio of our clients most strategically important UK and international customers - the kind of accounts that have a huge impact on the whole businesses bottom line.

You'll manage everything from pricing negotiations through to launching new products and driving profitable growth.

Your background needs to be solid in account management within FMCG or premium gifting. But what we absolutely need - real grocery experience.

We mean owning significant grocery customers - handling joint business plans, annual terms, trade investment, forecasting, category reviews and hitting P&L targets. If that's been you, this role fits.

Three days a week in their Gilberdyke office (usually Monday, Wednesday, Thursday), 1-2 day from home. You'll spend roughly one to two days each month visiting customers and checking out stores.

You'll bring strong commercial and financial capability. You’ve proven you deliver both sales and profit growth.

You’re a natural negotiator, manage complex customer plans and understand forecasting and promotional evaluation like the back of your hand. Experience coaching or managing others is a real bonus – but not essential.

You'll need a full UK driving licence and willingness to travel, international too (infrequently, mind!)

You'll report to the Head of Sales, which means genuine autonomy to build customer strategy, own your numbers and make real commercial decisions.
