Job description

Overview

National Account Executive - Food Manufacturing - £34,000

Bury - Site Based

A lot of National Account Exec roles boil down to spreadsheets, chasing forecasts, and being the person who updates trackers nobody ever looks at. This one's different.

Here, you'll actually get under the skin of how retail accounts are run — digging into data, challenging cost models, and having conversations that matter. Yes, you'll do the detail, but you'll also see the bigger commercial picture.

The job

• Support Account Managers without just being their PA
• Own the day-to-day detail — forecasts, promotions, new line forms
• Pull apart data, not just input it
• Build relationships with buyers, supply chain teams, and the people who matter
• Make sure launches and promos work in the real world, not just on a spreadsheet

What you’ll need

• Confident with Excel (Power BI would be a bonus)
• Organised, proactive, commercially switched-on
• Some experience in sales support, commercial, or account exec roles - ideally in Food Manufacturing/FMCG
