Job Description:

Junior National Account Manager – Purpose-Led Pet Brand

? Location: London (Hybrid – 3 days office, 2 days WFH)

At MKJ Ignite, we partner with some of the most exciting challenger brands in FMCG—and this one’s transforming how people think about pet nutrition. They’ve delivered millions of meals, built a fiercely loyal customer base, and are on a mission to raise the bar in the pet category with natural, no-compromise products that prioritise animal wellbeing and sustainability.

They’re now looking for a National Account Executive to join their retail team and help drive growth across pet retail and convenience. It’s a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to level up their commercial career in a purpose-led, product-obsessed business.

? What you’ll be doing:

? Supporting the retail team to deliver in-store execution and brilliant customer collaboration

? Managing trackers, reports, and category data to keep things running like clockwork

? Working with merch teams and customers to ensure top-tier in-store presence and display execution

? Coordinating POS and promotional activity (think: FSDUs, off-shelf and sampling)

? Helping build fixturisation solutions and supporting cross-functional retail projects

? Owning master data integrity, pricing files, and customer systems

? Supporting with planning inputs, S&OP, and tracking trading plans

? Learning the ropes on consultative selling and category management

? What we’re looking for:

? FMCG experience—ideally 1–2 years in a sales or commercial support role

? Someone commercially curious, organised, and excited to grow

? Confident with data, happy in Excel and able to juggle a few things at once

? Great energy, communication, and team spirit—ready to get stuck in

? Passion for challenger brands and a genuine interest in the pet space

What’s in it for you:

? 25 days holiday + birthday off + paid charity days + sabbatical after 4 years

? £1,000 personal L&D budget + full retail training programme

? Discounts on all their products (your pet will thank you)

? Amazing central London office with snacks, coffee & creative energy

? Pet-ernity leave and a team who genuinely look out for each other

Now: Apply today with your CV which will be reviewed by our MKJ Ignite team.

First Stage: Teams call with the hiring manager

Second Stage: Face to face interview in the office and meet the wider team

? People are at the heart of everything we do. We embrace diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive recruitment process that means people can be their best authentic self. ️

We would love to reply to all applications, regrettably we are unable to do so due to the high volumes we receive, so if you do not hear back within 14 days unfortunately on this role it won’t be progressing. It is possible that the position could be in the process of closing, so chalk it up to bad timing. But, have no fear! There will be more opportunities. Follow us so you don’t miss them. ?
