Job Description:

National Account Manager

A fast-growing challenger brand in the non-food FMCG space is on the lookout for a dynamic and detail-driven National Account Manager to support our expanding commercial operations.

They’re not your typical corporate machine, they’ve doubled their revenue every year since 2021, built a powerful global retail footprint (without outside investment), and fostered a collaborative, no-blame culture where people grow fast and get stuck in. This is the perfect role for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves, learn by doing, and help shape one of the most exciting scale-ups in personal care.

When visiting, our client made it clear that culture is everything. The office is bright, modern and open. They’re a tight-knit, cross-functional team who believe in collaboration over ego, ideas over hierarchy, and action over red tape. You’ll find them bouncing ideas off each other and backing each other every step of the way - whether they’re building a pitch deck or launching a new product into a retailer. They champion curiosity, openness, bold thinking and honest conversations.

What You'll Be Doing:

This is a commercial growth role where you’ll support a lean team, across a blend of UK retail or international retail accounts. No two days are the same- it’s all hands on deck.

• Build, support and nurture retailer relationships across UK and internationally
• Taking ownership of new business outreach, pitching, and proposal writing
• Management of accounts
• Liaise cross-functionally with NPD, category, finance and marketing
• Support retail launches across new lines and innovations
• Dive into data – Excel will be your best mate
• Be mentored, trained and set up for long-term success

Who We're Looking For: They’re looking for personality, potential and grit over the perfect CV. If you’ve got 3-6+ months of FMCG sales experience, the right mindset, and want to grow within a fast-paced brand, we want to hear from you.

• A confident communicator who isn’t afraid to ask questions or take ownership
• Resilient, curious, and up for a challenge
• Someone who wants the exposure an SME brings — no red tape here
• Commercially aware and confident with numbers (Excel is key)
• Passionate about the brand and excited by our story
• Ready for a challenger brand/SME environment and mindset
• Someone who wants to get their teeth stuck into FMCG

Why this company?

• Rapid growth business – expanding in UK and globally
• Strong mentorship and real career progression from day one
• Great exposure across international, NPD, strategy, and marketing
• Up to 20% annual bonus based on company performance
• Free onsite gym
• Flexible working and hybrid office pattern
• Monthly team socials and a culture that celebrates creativity, ownership and trying new things (even if they don’t always work!)
• Job security without the need for external investment!
