National Account Manager (Convenience/Wholesale) in Manchester

Some brands take years to get noticed. This one didn't ask permission.

It went straight to the shelves and dominated. All over TikTok before most buyers had even heard the name. Now it's landed in the UK, and it's smashing the convenience and cash & carry channel with everything it's got.

Someone needs to lead that charge. It could be you.

Why should you care?

• Because this doesn't come round often, a genuine global phenomenon, still fresh in the UK, and a blank page in your channel.
• You won't be babysitting a mature brand or squeezing another half-percent out of a tired range. You'll be building. New listings. New wholesalers. New reasons for shoppers to grab it at the till. The kind of launch you'll still be talking about in ten years.
• And you won't be doing it alone or on a shoestring. This brand sits inside one of the biggest food manufacturers on the planet — 33 countries, serious firepower and a strategy that's already worked market after market. The budget's there. The ambition's there. The appetite's there.

What's missing is you.

What makes this one different

• Real ownership. These are your accounts, your relationships, your calls.
• Real access. Senior people in the group who'll actually listen — not five layers away.
• Real momentum. You're joining a rocket, not pushing a boulder uphill.
• Real freedom. Trusted to run your customers.

What you'll actually do

• Own the national accounts across convenience and cash & carry
• Win brand new customers, then grow the ones you land
• Get it stocked, get it seen, keep it moving — front and centre, not gathering dust
• Build the plans, the promotions and the relationships that turn a hyped launch into a permanent fixture
• Spot the angles nobody else has — because in this channel, the sharp ones win

Who we're after

You've lived in convenience and cash & carry. You know the buyers, the wholesalers, the symbol groups and the way this channel really moves. That bit's non-negotiable — bring the experience. Past that, we want fire. A challenger who makes people stop and look. Someone who thinks sideways when everyone else goes in a straight line. Someone who sees a brand this hot and thinks, "right, let's not waste a second of it."\

Impulse background is a lovely bonus. But it's your feel for the channel and your hunger to build something that'll get you the conversation.

We rate skills and experience. We don't worship it. Bring the graft and the instinct and we'll talk.
