Job description

National Account Executive - High-Growth Consumer Brand Group | Reading (Hybrid)

Salary : Competitive + Bonus + Rapid Career Progression + 26 Days Holiday

Location : Reading, Berkshire (office-based 1-2 days / week)

Are you a commercially astute and ambitious National Account Executive (or rising Junior Account Manager) looking to make your mark in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment?

We’re exclusively partnering with a high-growth consumer brand group on a mission to build and scale an exciting portfolio of functional and lifestyle brands across the UK and beyond. Backed by significant investment and led by a best-in-class leadership team, the business has doubled turnover in the last two months - and is on track to do it again, targeting £12M+ revenue within the next 12 months.

Now, they’re looking for a bright, dynamic National Account Executive to join their expanding commercial team and play a key role in supporting and developing relationships across key UK retailers, distributors, and wholesalers.

🌟 The Opportunity

This is not your typical “steady-state” account role. It’s a fast-paced, hands‑on commercial position within a buy & build model brand house that’s scaling aggressively. You’ll gain exposure to multiple categories and channels while working directly with the Senior NAM.

You’ll be involved in :

• Supporting national and regional accounts across retail, wholesale, and distribution partners
• Analysing margins, pricing structures, and competitor activity to drive profitability
• Helping shape Joint Business Plans and supporting price negotiations
• Assisting in the execution of promotions, offers, and trade activations
• Managing day‑to‑day account administration, reporting, and data analysis

👤 About You

You’ll be :

• Commercially minded and analytically sharp - confident with numbers and data
• Driven and ambitious - someone who’s hungry to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility quickly
• Experienced in (or supporting) UK account management within retail, wholesale, or distribution channels
• Ideally from a background in Personal Care, Beauty, VMS (Vitamins, Minerals & Supplements), Oral Care, Pharmaceuticals, or broader Functional FMCG

This is the perfect next step for someone ready to grow their career within a fast-moving, acquisition‑driven brand group where talent is recognised and rewarded.

🚀 Why Apply?

• Join a business doubling revenue and expanding its portfolio of brands
• Work alongside a passionate leadership team focused on career development and internal progression
• Exposure across multiple categories, brands, and customers - a true career accelerant
• Competitive package + bonus + real opportunity for progression

If you’re a motivated commercial talent looking to accelerate your FMCG career, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note, due to the high volume of applications, if you haven’t heard back within 96 hours, it unfortunately means we’ll be progressing with other candidates on this occasion. We truly appreciate your interest and wish you every success in your ongoing search
