Remote National Account Manager in Warrington

At Notpla we’re at the leading edge of sustainable innovation, creating natural alternatives to single-use plastic packaging that’s carefully engineered to create a healthier planet. Founded on the belief that nature knows best, we’re an innovative, ideas and action-oriented scale-up who develop and manufacture uncompromisingly natural packaging solutions from seaweed and plants.

As a National or EU Account Manager (depending on background) you will be responsible for building Notpla’s revenue stream through foodservice sales, utilising a combination of existing partnerships and new relationships, to get Notpla’s plastic free packaging solutions into stadiums, restaurants, corporate canteens… everywhere! This is an exciting time to join Notpla, as we are right on the brink of a record-breaking year for revenue and on-track for major growth in the next 18-24 months.

We launched our foodservice packaging into the market in 2023, sold 12 million items in 2024 and hope to double that in 2025. Bolstering confidence in our financial performance, we have just secured a Series A+ fundraise for £20million, enabling us to scale our growth and environmental impact faster than ever.

Our Sales team sits within our revenue function, working closely with the marketing, business development and finance teams. Led by strong values, all Notpla employees are encouraged to take responsibility for their domain, giving a high level of autonomy. Our aim is to build an inspiring culture that's reflected in our working policies, environment and employees.

Besides offering exciting roles and a great working environment, Notpla provides competitive salaries, the potential for EMI Share Options, a zero-carbon pension scheme, discounts with local businesses, and subsidised social activities. Our office first hybrid working policy allows you to work in the manner that maximises your productivity, while still creating a vibrant and collegiate work environment.

We are a social business with regular clubs and events, and we are proud of how our diverse workplace has created a community that is all pushing towards the common goal of making plastic disappear.

We are looking for someone with direct experience of packaging solutions into the food service industry. You will ideally come with the contacts and relationships required, to help us build further revenue and to expand our market share. The ability to speak multiple languages would be a big advantage.

As well as the above, your day to day responsibilities will include:

• Working with national, regional and international distributors to drive demand for the Notpla product range.
• Sourcing new potential customers, and responding to incoming leads via the CRM or from the senior leadership team.
• Working with the design team to drive new SKU production by presenting customer feedback and expectations.
• Working with the Chief Revenue Officer to give feedback on pricing strategy and proposing commercial rebates or financial incentives as necessary.
• Creating new business for Notpla by utilising your industry contacts to open up new opportunities for our food service products.
• Tracking and reporting progress of potential clients on the CRM and in cross-functional team meetings.
• Developing and operating a comprehensive market map of the potential clients and partners for Notpla, to ensure we are maximising our business development opportunities.
