NATIONAL ACCOUNT MANAGER
Up to £55k + bonus, hybrid company car & benefits
The Company
Our client is a dynamic, privately owned FMCG business with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a diverse portfolio spanning healthy food and drink, sports nutrition, world foods, and health & beauty. With a mix of owned and partner brands, supported by in-house manufacturing, the business is known for its passion for quality and innovation. Continued investment and ambitious UK growth plans make this an exciting time to join the team.
The Role
This is a high-impact National Account Manager opportunity, managing a small portfolio of Grocery Multiples and High Street retail accounts. You’ll lead the delivery of joint business plans, drive brand growth, and open up new distribution and NPD opportunities. The role is strategically important and offers genuine visibility within the business.
Based from home with weekly travel to the West Sussex head office, you’ll enjoy autonomy while collaborating closely with colleagues across functions.
