I’m working with a well-established food business that’s got a solid footprint across retail and foodservice. They’re big on quality, big on flavour, and always looking for new ways to bring fresh thinking to the category. They’ve built strong partnerships over the years and aren’t slowing down anytime soon.

They’re now looking for a National Account Manager to drive one of their biggest areas of growth: retail grocery. This is a brilliant opportunity to take ownership of top 4 grocer relationships and play a key role in a business that’s both proudly independent and relentlessly ambitious.

Who we’re looking for:

Strong track record in branded and/or own label products
