National Account Executive
As a National Account Executive in the FMCG industry, you'll play a key role in managing client relationships and driving sales growth. Based on the outskirts of Glasgow, this role will have you working closely with the leadership team to drive client growth.
Client Details
A food manufacturing business with private label as well as branded.
Description
We're partnering with a successful and growing food manufacturing business based on the outskirts of Glasgow to find an ambitious National Account Executive.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to simply manage accounts and keep the status quo ticking along. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to get stuck in, spot opportunities, grow customers, launch products and play a genuine role in shaping the commercial success of the business.
You'll work directly alongside senior leadership in a business that moves quickly, values initiative and gives people the autonomy to make things happen.
If you have the drive to build relationships, understand the numbers and develop your commercial career in a fast-paced food business, we'd love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
You'll play a key role in driving sales growth across a diverse range of channels including:
- Retail (branded and own label)
- Foodservice and wholesale
- Grocery
- Distributors
- Export markets
- New product development and commercial projects

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have the freedom to pursue opportunities, bring ideas to the table and influence commercial decisions from day one.
We're looking for someone who can identify opportunities others might miss, build strong customer relationships and combine commercial instinct with strong analytical thinking.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Supporting the delivery of profitable revenue growth across key accounts and channels
- Identifying and developing new national and regional customer opportunities
- Growing and strengthening existing customer relationships
- Supporting and contributing to customer business plans
- Negotiating pricing, promotions and commercial agreements
- Monitoring margins and supporting profitability improvements
- Analysing sales data and customer performance to identify opportunities and trends
- Maintaining a structured sales pipeline and opportunity tracker
- Producing accurate forecasts and commercial reports
- Supporting successful new product launches from concept through to listing
- Working closely with production, technical and operations teams to ensure growth plans are achievable and sustainable
This is a role for someone who wants to help grow a business, not simply inherit a customer list and maintain it.
