Company
Are you ready to take your career to the next level with a market-leading brand in a high-growth impulse food category? This pioneering company has established itself as a leader in its field, known for its innovation, strong retail presence, and commitment to delivering high-quality products. With ambitious growth plans and an impressive track record in the grocery and convenience sectors, they are now looking for a driven Grocery National Account Manager to join their team.
Role
As a National Account Manager, you will play a key role in driving sales across a portfolio of leading branded food products with major retail customers, including Tesco and Morrisons. You will work closely with the Head of Sales and the wider sales team to develop strategic relationships within the top four grocery retailer accounts. This role requires a proactive and commercially focused approach, ensuring strong customer engagement and delivering sales growth in line with business objectives. Reporting to the Head of Sales, you will work with the broader commercial team, contributing to the sharing of best practices and driving business success.
Requirements
The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of FMCG sales experience and be currently operating at National Account Manager level.

The role demands a highly self-motivated individual with the ability to build strong, long-term relationships with key customers. A robust character, combined with an outgoing, energetic, and lively personality, will be key to success.
