National Account Manager

Premium Food Brand Wiltshire (Onsite)

50,000 - 60,000 + Car Allowance

Looking for more ownership, better product, and real influence? This could be worth a conversation.

We're partnering with a well-established British premium food business with a strong reputation for quality, provenance and innovation, supplying into major UK retailers and premium food channels.

As part of continued growth, they are now looking to appoint a National Account Manager to take ownership of key retail relationships and drive the next phase of commercial growth.

The Role

This is a true National Account Manager position, offering full ownership of key retail accounts and the opportunity to play a visible role within a growing business.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Managing and developing relationships with major UK grocery retailers
  • Leading joint business planning (JBP) and delivering against commercial targets
  • Driving sales growth, margin and distribution across your accounts
  • Leading commercial negotiations including pricing and promotions
  • Identifying new opportunities to expand the brand's presence
  • Working cross-functionally with internal teams to deliver results

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike many NAM roles, this position offers the chance to be closer to the product and decision-making.

Being based onsite in Wiltshire means:

  • Direct access to product, supply chain and innovation teams
  • Greater visibility and collaboration with senior leadership
  • The ability to make decisions quickly in a less corporate, more agile environment

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a National Account Manager within FMCG / food
  • Strong track record managing grocery retail accounts
  • Experience delivering JBPs and driving account growth
  • Confident in commercial negotiations and stakeholder management
  • A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to operate autonomously

Experience within premium food, fresh or branded FMCG would be advantageous.

The Package

  • 50,000 - 60,000 base salary
  • Car allowance
  • Onsite role based in Wiltshire
  • Opportunity to join a growing, quality-led food business

Why Join?

  • Take ownership of key retail accounts with real autonomy
  • Join a business with strong brand credentials and product quality
  • Be part of a collaborative, commercially focused team
  • Play a key role in driving the next stage of growth

If you're a National Account Manager in FMCG or food looking for a role with more ownership, better product and closer access to decision-making, we'd love to hear from you.
