Signature Career Management have exclusively partnered with a global blue-chip food company and household name within the frozen food category. With a history spanning well over 60 years, they continue to go from strength to strength and have ambitious growth plans for the next 5 years.
They are constantly adding exciting new products to their portfolio, including 4 new acquisitions over the last 3 years, helping them build a diversified presence across multiple channels and categories.
As part of their continued growth, they are looking to appoint a National Account Manager to take ownership of key customers, including Co-op and Nisa.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and commercially driven National Account Manager who enjoys building strong customer relationships, developing strategic account plans and delivering sustainable sales and profit growth.
