Job description

National Account Manager / Account Manager- Consumer Brands

London - Hybrid | Two opportunities | Flexible on level

An exciting opportunity to join a major international consumer products business with a portfolio of well-known, household-name brands.

We're hiring two people into the UK Sales team and are open on level depending on experience. You could be an NAE ready to step up, an established Account Manager / KAM, or a National Account Manager looking for your next challenge.

You’ll take ownership of UK retail customers, building strong commercial relationships and driving growth across your accounts.

• Managing and developing key retail accounts
• Building account plans and identifying opportunities for growth
• Forecasting, ranging and promotional planning
• Analysing sales performance and using data to drive decisions
• Presenting to customers and managing commercial negotiations
• Working closely with Marketing, Planning, Operations and Finance

The exact account portfolio and level of responsibility will be shaped around experience, with genuine scope for both a strong step-up candidate and someone already operating at National Account level.

We're looking for someone who is commercially minded, analytical, confident with customers and a genuine team player. Experience working with major UK retailers is important, whether that has been gained within Account Management, Buying or Merchandising. Both briefs specifically allow for experience gained on either the retailer or supplier side.

You’ll be joining a fast-paced, high-performing and genuinely collaborative team based in a fantastic London office (with hybrid and Flexible working). You will have the opportunity to work across an exciting portfolio of brands and make a real impact on your accounts.

If you're looking for greater ownership, progression and the opportunity to develop your career within a major international consumer business, we'd love to hear from you.
