With an international supply base spanning 20+ countries, this is a business with real heritage, strong values and serious growth ambitions.
   
 The Role
 Reporting directly into the Sales & Marketing Director, this is a genuine career-defining role with real autonomy and responsibility. You'll take ownership of major retail accounts whilst identifying and securing new business opportunities, building long-term customer relationships across all functions and working cross-functionally with procurement, supply chain, category and marketing teams.

Deliver best-in-class customer presentations using IRI and internal data alongside the Category Insight and Marketing teams 
Manage and report on sales performance and contract balances    
 About You
  
Degree educated (2:1 or above in a relevant business discipline) 
Minimum 3 years' experience managing UK retail accounts 
Food industry background strongly preferred — other FMCG considered 
Own label experience a plus 
Proven new business winner with strong commercial instincts 
Confident negotiator and influencer with excellent communication skills 
Highly organised, detail-oriented and data-savvy 
Dynamic, tenacious and driven to succeed    
 What's On Offer

Matched pension contributions up to 5%
