Looking for your next big move in retail account management? Ready to take the reins of a multi-million-pound client and shape the next wave of retail growth?

This is your chance to join a global market leader in consumer tech – known for innovation, high-quality products, and a bold, energetic culture.

We’re hiring a National Account Manager to lead the day-to-day management of one of our clients most high-profile retail accounts (worth £6.5 million+ annually) while also driving growth into new retail markets. This role is 60% Account Management, 40% New Business – and 100% for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, hands-on environment.

Your Key Responsibilities:

1. Take ownership of a large national retail account – full end-to-end responsibility from forecasting and delivery through to payment and product launches.
2. Be the daily contact and driving force behind the account – no day is the same and your influence will be visible across the business.
3. Represent the brand and ensure execution excellence on all fronts.
4. Prepare, steer and present business reviews with the retailer and wider business.
5. Identify and build relationships with new retail partners – from premium fashion retailers to theme parks.
6. Work from scratch – find contacts, pitch ideas, and open doors. You’ll be handed a wish list of priority targets to run with.
7. Explore fresh market opportunities with creativity and tenacity – be disruptive (in a good way) and proactive in presenting new strategies.

About You:

1. 3–5+ years’ national account management experience, working with major retailers in the consumer goods space (e.g. Boots, Selfridges, John Lewis, Very etc).
2. Experience managing large, high-profile accounts and presenting to senior stakeholders.
3. Comfortable juggling multiple deadlines, switching gears quickly, and staying cool under pressure.
4. Driven, tenacious, confident – someone with a spark and the ability to stay upbeat and focused.
5. Strong data and commercial acumen – able to interpret performance, identify opportunities, and present with clarity.
6. Background in consumer product sales (e.g., beauty, fashion accessories, tech, homeware) with a strong understanding of retail buyer expectations.
7. Experience working within a matrix or large global organisation – able to navigate internal structures.
8. Must live within a 2-hour radius of Bedfordshire – Monday office presence is essential, plus flexibility to travel to London.

Why This Role?

1. Full ownership of a flagship account – massive visibility and impact.
2. Unique dual focus on managing a major existing relationship and unlocking exciting new business opportunities.
3. Opportunity to join a fast-growing team in a truly global brand.
4. Structured bonus and strong benefits that reward results and contribution.

? This isn’t just another account manager role.

This is for someone who wants to make a difference, shake things up, and be recognised for it.
