About the Role
We're delighted to be working with a well-established FMCG business to recruit a National Account Manager in the Grocery channel.
This is a great opportunity to join a growing business with ambitious plans and a strong portfolio of products within the food sector. The business is continuing to invest in its brands and has clear plans for further growth across the UK Grocery channel.

- Build strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
- Take ownership of account plans and deliver against agreed commercial objectives
