🚀 National Account Manager – Fast-Growing Drinks Brand
💼 Location: UK (with occasional travel to London – approx. twice per month)
💰 Salary: £50-55K + £5K car allowance + 20% bonus
At MKJ Ignite, we partner with the most exciting challenger brands in FMCG – and this one is no exception. They’re on a mission to shake up the drinks industry with all-natural, zero-sugar goodness – and they’re growing FAST. With listings in major retailers like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Holland & Barrett, and WHSmith, plus ambitious plans to break into even more forecourt and travel retail outlets, they’re looking for a National Account Manager who’s ready to drive real impact.

🔥 Win New Business: Identify and secure new customers across forecourt, convenience, and travel retail channels. If you love the thrill of opening new doors, this is your playground – think Welcome Break, Moto, and beyond.
💡 Drive Commercial Success: Build and deliver commercially savvy JBPs and P&Ls that fuel ambitious growth targets.
🤝 Be the Face of the Brand: Build strong, lasting relationships with customers and be a passionate ambassador for everything the brand stands for.
Who You Are:
🚀 A Go-Getter: You’re proactive, hands-on, and love making things happen.
🛠️ Resilient & Adaptable: You thrive in a fast-moving, ever-changing environment where no two days are the same.
📈 Results-Driven: Targets motivate you, and you’re relentless in your pursuit of growth.
📊 Experienced: You’ve got a background in national/key account management, handling P&Ls and JBPs, within FMCG.

We would love to reply to all applications, regrettably we are unable to do so due to the high volumes we receive, so if you do not hear back within 14 days unfortunately on this role it won’t be progressing. It is possible that the position could be in the process of closing, so chalk it up to bad timing. But, have no fear! There will be more opportunities. Follow us so you don’t miss them. 👀
