Job DescriptionWe’re on an exciting journey to grow and strengthen our relationships with retailers, putting customer centricity at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re looking for a National Account Manager (Grocery) to join our team. This is a fantastic opportunity to drive growth, shape our strategy, and make a real impact across our retail partnerships.
This role is all about people—building strong, collaborative relationships with our retail partners, understanding their needs, and working together to unlock new opportunities. You’ll be at the forefront of these conversations, negotiating commercial terms, managing both branded and private label growth, and ensuring our products continue to thrive on shelves. Every day will be different, whether you're meeting customers, developing strategic plans, or working closely with internal teams across sales, marketing, category, and supply chain to bring ideas to life.
You’ll need to be mobile, as regular travel is part of the role—meeting customers, visiting stores, and getting firsthand insight into what’s happening in the market. Seeing the impact of your work in real-time is one of the most rewarding aspects of this role, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to develop strong connections across the industry.
QualificationsWe’re looking for someone with a strong commercial mindset, great negotiation skills, and a track record of success in FMCG account management. If you have experience working with grocery retailers and are ready to take on a role where you can truly make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
This is your chance to be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking business where your ideas and ambition will be valued. If you’re ready to step up and help shape the future of our brands while working closely with great people across the industry, apply today!
