National Account Manager

The National Account Manager will oversee key relationships and drive sales growth within major Food Manufacturers. This role requires a strategic thinker with expertise in account management and a strong focus on achieving business objectives.

Client Details

My client is a fantastic food ingredients manufacturer in the UK. Built up by one family over 130 years, they have become notable for their quality, customer service, and ability to innovate within the market. In recent years, they have been acquired by a global parent company, offering investment and growth opportunities whilst still retaining their brand for which they are loved.

Description

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with key national accounts to drive sales growth.
  • Identify and capitalise on new business opportunities.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless delivery of products and services to clients.
  • Monitor and analyse sales data to track performance and identify areas for improvement.
  • Negotiate contracts and agreements to achieve favourable outcomes for both the company and clients.
  • Prepare and deliver presentations to key stakeholders to communicate strategies and results.
  • Provide accurate sales forecasts and contribute to the overall business planning process.
  • Stay updated on market trends and competitor activities to maintain a competitive edge.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
