National Account Manager - Coventry

Job Title:            National Account Manager

Location:           Coventry            

Salary:                 £40,000 – £50,000 + car allowance, bonus, pension

The Company

Our client, part of an international food business, produces and supplies several well-known brands to most of the UK’s biggest retailers.

Globally, the business turns over move than £10m and they’re now looking for somebody to join their vibrant team who can help them to continue to grow in the UK.

The Role

Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you’ll be instrumental in managing key retailer relationships to drive growth and market share.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Developing customer relationships, providing exceptional levels of customer service and identifying opportunities for growth.
• Handling ‘day to day’ account issues that arise.
• Working with and supporting the wider sales and marketing teams, evaluating promotions, and implementing marketing initiatives.

Hybrid working is available – you’d be spending three days in the office and (if you want to), two days at home.

You

This is an ideal opportunity for a National Account Executive (or similar) looking for progression, or somebody in a NAM role seeking a new challenge.

The key things you’ll need are:

• Ideally a background in the food industry, although this is not essential, with experience of working on grocery retail accounts (top 4 would be preferred).
• Sound commercial awareness, and able to develop strong relationships with customers at all levels.
• Highly numerate with strong analytical skills.
• Proactive approach and highly organised, able to plan and prioritise a busy workload.
• Self-motivated and target driven, yet happy to do the less exciting, admin parts of the job.
