National Account Manager
Wembley (office based)
£45,000-£60,000 per annum
Talent Guardian is partnering with a well-established food manufacturer based in Wembley to find an experienced, customer-facing Account Manager to look after their key accounts and drive growth across the independent and speciality channel.
This is a great role for a commercial, relationship-led account manager who enjoys being out in front of customers as much as managing the day-to-day — combining the profile of recognised national accounts with the opportunity to open up exciting new speciality business.
The role
- Manage and grow major retail and online grocery accounts, including the likes of Co-op and Ocado
- Develop new and existing business across farm shops, delis and independent/speciality retail
- Act as the key point of contact for your customers, building strong, lasting relationships
- Travel throughout the UK for customer meetings, with a base at the Wembley office
- Manage forecasting, listings, pricing and NPD conversations to grow each account
- Work closely with internal teams to deliver a first-class service to customers
