Our client is a manufacturer of a range of branded and own-label products. They are a real success story with listings across the major multiples and retail. Their products are at the forefront of consumer changing tastes and as a result, have had excellent sales growth. This is backed by a new product development programme second to none.
Due to this growth and internal promotions, they require a National Account Manager to take full responsibility for the Tesco account.

- Need to understand the needs of the business and how to meet these in all areas of pricing, promotions, and category development.
- Build relationships cross-functionally across your account portfolio.
Ideal Candidates:
- Will have managed a Top 5 Grocery retailer as a National Account Manager and be keen to either continue to work with Tesco or take on the challenge of a new account
- Can understand data provided by Nielsen and Kantar and use this to support the sales story and the new product development programme.
- With passion and entrepreneurial skills to make this happen.
- Graduate calibre, coupled with excellent communication skills and high levels of IT literacy and financial acumen.
Benefits:
- Car allowance and mileage
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
