Sauce Shop doesn't do average. We make seriously good sauces in Nottingham and we're proud of it — the kind people rave about, hoard, and refuse to share. With sustained growth and ambitious targets, now is a great time to join us in this interim opportunity, which could grow into something permanent.
Come build something with us. Come make sauce history.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a commercially sharp relationship-builder — someone who's just as comfortable pulling apart a sales report as they are pitching to a customer over coffee, and who gets a genuine kick out of seeing a brand they believe in land on more menus and in stores. If you're driven by numbers but motivated by people, and you want real ownership rather than a seat to keep warm, we want to hear from you.
This is an interim National Account Manager role in our Food Service Channel, covering for a colleague who's off adventuring for a few months, likely to be 6 months+. But don't mistake "interim" for small stakes — with sustained growth and ambitious targets, this role has a genuine path to becoming permanent, potentially expanding into related channels like Discounters, as this channel is also growing fast.
What You'll Be Doing
As National Account Manager, you'll drive the day-to-day management of some of our biggest customers across food and hospitality. You'll build commercial listings in food service wholesale and grow demand through end users — servicing our existing customer base and winning new business.
You'll be uniquely placed to get our brands showing up (and being devoured) across the food service sector, where the consumer experience is everything. You'll drive growth, build strong partnerships, and make sure Sauce Shop stands out on every menu — because the chefs and consumers we work with understand exactly what we add to their food.
Account Management
- You'll be the primary contact for your customers, keeping communication sharp both internally and externally
- You'll deliver annual sales and margin targets for your portfolio
Account Support
- You'll work closely with supply chain to manage forecasts, orders and stock availability
- You'll track and report weekly sales, promotions and performance across key accounts
- You'll analyse sales data and market insights to spot opportunities and get ahead of challenges
- You'll accurately forecast customer requirements for the operation
- You'll drive in-store execution and compliance with agreed listings and promotional plans
- You'll support trade and customer events to grow Sauce Shop's profile
- Previous experience in a commercial, sales support or customer-facing role — ideally within food service, wholesale or discounters
- Strong organisational skills with great attention to detail
- Comfortable working with numbers and data to draw meaningful insights
- Excellent communication skills and a genuinely collaborative approach
- A passion for food and an understanding of challenger brands
- Confidence using AI tools to work smarter and faster
We'd love to hear from you. Come build something with us. Come make sauce history.
