Senior National Account Manager – Top Grocers experience essential

Location: Location: Home Based, Head Office France
To £75,000 + bonus + exec package

Already a runaway success story that has achieved way beyond the original expectations of the Family Founders in less than 10-years, our client is a privately owned €250m private label bakery international food business. Even more impressive, they have achieved almost £80m revenue in the UK alone! With ambition to grow and deliver a plan that can demonstrably continue expansion in the UK and Ireland, they now need an FMCG trained SNAM or Controller who, without any doubt, is considered a resident expert in private label food sales across the major grocers.

The French Board has now trained its sights on appointing an impressive UK Sales Manager to lead the UK, an outright Pioneer of winning the hearts and minds of the UK Grocery customer universe, who will unlock the huge potential knowingly available. So far, distribution is impressive, yet wider and deeper penetration is the priority; a well thought out activation strategy is key to success.

This role is all about stellar sales hunger and capability. You will relish the very idea of managing the Grocery retailer universe, finding new revenue sources in a role that requires a high degree of autonomy as the sole UK representative. You will report to the European Commercial Director. Your attitude as a sales entrepreneur is expected; someone who thrives on building commercial success and can show their value instantly by way of structured and disciplined commercial FMCG know-how.

You will influence the commercial standards and be part of building a creative strategy, perfectly designed using your account management knowledge and blue-chip training backed by your track record. Above all, you’ll have a passion for selling and a bias for action that makes a lasting impact. If your command of the French language is strong you will be in your element, it’s not essential though.

If you dream of swapping your ‘every day seems the same’ role currently for one with a fast-paced and vibrant company, now is the time to do something about it. The stakes are high, the rewards even higher!
