Job Description

Senior Account Manager – Award-Winning, Category-defining brand

Location: London

• £80,000 - £90,000 Basic salary
• 25% Bonus
• Pension
• Subsidised gym membership

BACKGROUND

This is a brilliant business to be part of. Shaping the wider category, they are growing at an unprecedented rate, both in the UK and internationally.

Working closely with the Commercial Director and Business Unit Head, you will take ownership of some of the Top 4 Grocery Accounts. This role is not just about managing relationships – it is about driving growth! Opportunities for their products are everywhere, and your natural curiosity and tenacity to make things happen will stand out.

However, it is not enough to just make things happen.

You will thrive in setting robust and innovative strategies and be relentless in your pursuit to deliver results.

Support will be available along the way from Brand, Insight, Category Data, and Shopper Campaigns – teamwork is essential.

OPPORTUNITY

The last few years have seen phenomenal growth for this on-trend, healthy food business. With turnover increasing more than four-fold, the trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.

Major pillars of success include increased distribution, award-winning new products, and changing consumer behavior. The brilliant commercial team behind it all is a key factor.

In line with these exciting plans, we are seeking talented, well-trained, and ambitious individuals who want to make an impact.

ABOUT YOU

You should understand the landscape well, constantly generating ideas and passionate about seeing them realized. You will possess a perfect balance between being a team player and a pioneer.

Exceptional relationship-building and networking skills are essential, but you must also keep sight of end goals. A structured and process-driven approach combined with entrepreneurial flair is key.

Experience in a high-growth environment is advantageous. If you are currently working for a major player in the UK FMCG market and feel there is more to explore, we want to hear from you. It’s time to make your training count!

It is also imperative that you have experience working with accounts within the Grocery Retail Estate, such as Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, etc. Without this experience, making an impact will be challenging.
