National Account Manager – FMCG

Leeds (Hybrid – 3 Days Office-Based) | £45,000–£50,000 + 15% Bonus

The Company

FMCG Selection is delighted to be partnering with an exciting, fast-growing food and drink brand specialising in premium, internationally inspired products.

With an established presence across major UK and European retailers, the business has enjoyed impressive growth and has ambitious plans for further expansion.

Supported by the resources and expertise of a much larger food business, the brand combines an entrepreneurial culture with significant investment in product innovation, marketing and brand development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its journey and play a key role in shaping its future growth.

The Role

Reporting to the Sales Director, the National Account Manager will be responsible for managing and developing relationships across grocery, convenience and high street retail customers.

The role will involve driving sales and profitability, identifying new business opportunities, securing additional distribution and supporting the successful launch of new products.

You'll take ownership of customer relationships, joint business planning, commercial negotiations and promotional activity, working closely with colleagues across marketing, supply chain and finance.

With significant growth ambitions and an exciting innovation pipeline, this role offers genuine responsibility, exposure and the opportunity to make a real commercial impact.

The Candidate

We're keen to speak with ambitious, commercially minded individuals with a minimum of two years' experience within FMCG, ideally gained in a branded food or drink environment.

You may currently be working as a National Account Executive, Junior National Account Manager or in a commercial role within a major retailer, and be looking for the next step in your career.

Experience managing or supporting retail customers across grocery, convenience or high street channels would be highly advantageous, although direct experience with the major multiple grocers is not essential.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate strong commercial awareness, analytical skills and an understanding of retailer relationships.

Above all, we're looking for someone with energy, ambition, a proactive approach and the desire to develop their career within a growing, entrepreneurial business.

Salary: £45,000–£50,000 depending on experience, plus a 15% discretionary bonus and company pension.

Location: Central Leeds – hybrid working (three days in the office, two days remote).
