National Account Manager
Greater Manchester | Up to £55,000 + £5,000 car allowance + bonus up to 50%
A branded consumer goods business is recruiting a National Account Manager to take ownership of £5m to £10m of turnover across a portfolio of strategically important national retail accounts. The role reports directly to the Chief Commercial Officer.
The brands are household names with genuine consumer recognition, and the retail relationships are well established. The business is changing how it grows those accounts. It is moving away from promotionally led trading towards strategic account management, with proper joint business planning, data-led propositions and customer plans built to hold up through a range review. A new sales process has been introduced, alongside investment in training and commercial tools, and the business is bringing people in to lead that change rather than absorb it.
