National Account Manager - Foodservice for LOVE CORN based in Shoreditch London, UK

Role Overview

LOVE CORN is the UK’s fastest-growing snack brand and a proud winner of the SME Grocer Gold Award.

Our mission? To be the "Feel Good" crunchy snack— perfect for on-the-go moments, lunchboxes, with a beverage, or even sprinkled on a salad. We’re a fan favourite among busy adults, always-hungry teens, and picky little eaters alike!

As part of our growth plans, we’re looking for a driven, customer-obsessed National Account Manager (NAM) to partner with our Head of Out of Home and take the OOH channel to the next level.

Role Purpose

The National Account Manager will play a key role in driving LOVE CORN’s growth across existing and new Out of Home customers. You’ll manage and expand current accounts, open new routes to market, and deliver exceptional partnerships that reflect our brand values and commercial ambitions.

You’ll act as a trusted commercial partner to the Head of OOH — helping shape channel strategy, deliver joint business plans (JBPs), and create customer-led initiatives that drive performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Account Management: Lead and grow key wholesale customers, including independent retail groups and foodservice end users linked to your accounts.
• New Business: Identify, pitch, and onboard new wholesale partners to unlock additional channels and customers.
• Revenue Growth: Secure new listings, expand distribution, and drive incremental sales across our product range and NPD.
• Performance: Deliver on sales targets and KPIs through strong account planning, execution, and customer engagement.
• Insights & Strategy: Use data and market insight to inform strategy and shape account plans.
• Relationships: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships across all levels within your customers’ organizations.

Strategic Alignment

• Ensure all activity aligns with LOVE CORN’s brand, values, and commercial strategy.
• Work cross-functionally with marketing, supply chain, and finance to deliver customer success.

Reporting & Insight

• Provide regular updates on account performance, pipeline activity, and growth opportunities.
• Use insights to inform decision-making and make data-driven recommendations.

Key Skills & Attributes

• Proven experience in national or key account management, ideally in FMCG or food & drink.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — takes action rather than waiting to be asked.
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills.
• Excellent questioning and listening abilities to uncover customer needs and create tailored solutions.
• Resilient and tenacious — thrives in fast-paced, high‑energy environments.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to zoom out, adapt, and see the bigger picture.
• Exceptional communication skills — both written and verbal.
• Collaborative and hands‑on — always ready to roll up your sleeves.
• Genuine passion for the LOVE CORN brand and our mission to make snacking feel good.
