Already managing key customer relationships and looking for a role with more autonomy, ownership, and visibility?
Whether you're currently a Key Account Manager, Account Executive, Customer Development Executive, or Field Account Manager, this is an opportunity to represent a market-leading FMCG brand and take ownership of a high-profile territory across the South West.
This isn't a traditional office-based account management position.
It's a customer-facing commercial role where you'll build relationships with key decision-makers across major grocery retailers, drive execution of national commercial initiatives, identify opportunities for growth, and become the trusted face of the brand across your territory.
With the freedom to manage your own diary and make commercial decisions in the field, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring customers receive exceptional support whilst delivering outstanding sales performance.
The Role
Operating across a large territory covering the South West of England, you'll be responsible for developing existing customer relationships, identifying commercial opportunities, and ensuring national plans are executed to the highest standard.
Working closely with customers, distributor partners, and internal stakeholders, you'll influence commercial performance by combining strong relationship management with hands-on execution.
