Job Description
We’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 Senior National Account Manager (Senior NAM) to play a key role in driving our commercial success. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of strategic retail partnerships, influence category growth, and help shape the future of our brands.
In this role, you’ll be a true business partner to our key grocery customers, leading negotiations, managing complex relationships, and identifying new opportunities for growth. You’ll take full ownership of P&L, develop and implement long-term customer plans, and work cross-functionally to bring commercial strategies to life. Collaboration is key—you’ll be working closely with internal teams across sales, marketing, category, and supply chain to ensure we’re delivering the best for our customers and consumers alike.
As a senior member of the team, you’ll also play a role in mentoring and supporting junior colleagues, sharing your knowledge and experience to drive high performance across the business.
Mobility is essential, as regular travel to meet customers, visit stores, and stay close to market trends will be a crucial part of your role. Seeing the real-world impact of your work is one of the most rewarding aspects of this position, offering the chance to build strong, lasting relationships across the industry.
Qualifications
We’re looking for a commercially driven, strategic thinker with strong negotiation skills and a proven track record in FMCG account management. Experience working with grocery retailers is essential, and a background in both branded and private label would be highly beneficial. If you thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and are ready to take the next step in your career, we’d love to hear from you.
This is your chance to be part of a forward-thinking, ambitious business where your contributions will make a real impact. If you're ready to take on a leadership role and work with great people to drive real commercial success, apply today!
