The Opportunity
We're supporting a fast-growing challenger drinks brand that is looking for a commercially sharp National Account Manager to help build distribution, grow existing route-to-market partners and open up new foodservice and wholesale opportunities.
This is a brilliant role for someone who enjoys the energy of a smaller, high-growth brand but wants the support, credibility and infrastructure of a wider FMCG group behind them.
You'll be working across national wholesalers, regional groups, foodservice customers and selected end-user opportunities, helping to turn strong brand momentum into profitable, sustainable volume growth.
Key Responsibilities
Grow volume through existing wholesale and foodservice partners.
Win new national and regional accounts that fit the brand's growth strategy.
Build strong customer relationships through regular face-to-face meetings and in-market activity.

Work closely with brand, marketing, revenue management and operations teams to make sure plans are commercially viable and deliverable.
Forecast account volumes, manage budgets and support wider commercial planning.
Represent the brand at relevant industry events, exhibitions and consumer shows.
What We're Looking For
You'll need proven experience growing accounts, winning new business and building strong customer relationships within foodservice/wholesale within drinks, food or broader FMCG.
The role would suit someone who is commercially credible but not overly corporate. Someone who enjoys being out with customers, can spot opportunities, build a plan, pitch with confidence and keep momentum moving. xgikmsk
