Help Build the Next Chapter of an Iconic Sports Nutrition Brand
Some National Account Manager roles are about maintaining business.
This isn't one of them.
Maxi Nutrition is entering an exciting new phase of growth. Following significant success across digital and eCommerce, we're investing behind the brand to accelerate growth across Grocery, Convenience, Wholesale, Specialist Retail, and emerging channels.
Backed by one of Europe's largest privately owned food manufacturers, Krüger Group, Maxi Nutrition combines the pace of a challenger brand with the investment, stability, and ambition of a global business.
We're looking for someone who genuinely loves selling.
Someone who enjoys opening doors, winning new listings, building customer relationships, and creating commercial momentum. If you're looking for another account management role... This probably isn't it.
If you're looking to help grow one of the UK's most recognized sports nutrition brands, then please keep reading.
About Maxi Nutrition
For over 25 years, Maxi Nutrition has helped millions of consumers achieve their health and fitness goals through trusted, high-quality sports nutrition. Today the brand is entering a new era.
Having successfully grown its digital presence and direct-to-consumer channels, the focus is now on expanding distribution and accelerating growth across physical retail and new commercial channels.
This creates a genuine opportunity for someone who wants to make a visible impact. You'll join at a time when decisions are made quickly, ideas are welcomed, and commercial success is recognized.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Commercial Director, you'll take ownership of a portfolio spanning Grocery, Convenience, Wholesale, High Street, and Specialist Retail.
Whilst you'll inherit existing customers, this role is equally about creating new opportunities. You'll identify new routes to market, win listings, strengthen customer partnerships, and help shape the future commercial direction of the Maxi Nutrition brand. This is a role for someone who enjoys building business.
