Senior Account Manager – Award-Winning, Category Defining Brand

Location: London

• £80,000 - £90,000 Basic Salary
• 25% Bonus
• Share Options Scheme
• 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 growth! Opportunities for their products are everywhere, and your natural curiosity and tenacity to make things happen will stand out.

You will relish setting a robust and innovative strategy and be unrelenting in your quest to deliver against it. There will be plenty of support along the way, from Brand to Insight and Category Data to compelling Shopper Campaigns – the team is in this together.

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 sign of slowing down. Increased distribution, award-winning new products combined with changing consumer behaviour have been the major pillars for success, not to mention the brilliant commercial team behind it.

In line with the exciting plans, we are looking to speak to talented, well-trained, and ambitious people who want to make things happen.

ABOUT YOU

Preferably, you will understand the landscape – you will always be coming up with ideas and will be passionate about seeing them come to fruition. You will have the perfect balance between being a team player and a pioneer.

You will be a brilliant relationship builder and networker but never lose sight of what the end goals are. Therefore, blending a structured and process-driven approach with a natural entrepreneurial flair is key.

Experience of working in a high-growth environment and what that entails is a distinct advantage. However, if you are currently working for one of the large players in the UK FMCG market and think there could be more to life (you’d be right), then we want to hear from you. It is time to make all that training count!

It is imperative that you have experience working with accounts within the Grocery Retail Estate – e.g., Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, M&S, etc. Without this experience, it will be challenging to come in and make an impact!
