National Account Manager

Location: Kent | Salary: £50,000 – £55,000 + bonus | Type: Permanent, Hybrid

Job Description

We’re partnering with a long-established, family-owned food and drink manufacturer to support the search for a National Account Manager (Wholesale). This is a fantastic time to join the business as they continue to expand and invest in their Out of Home offering, building on a long history of quality, customer focus and trusted relationships across the industry. With recent brand acquisitions and continued growth, this is a business firmly in expansion mode, offering real opportunity for impact, progression, and visibility.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Join a heritage-rich, family-owned business with a reputation built since 1880
  • Culture centred around quality, long-term relationships and customer excellence
  • Step into a visible, commercially impactful NAM role
  • Collaborative and supportive environment with real ownership
  • Play a key role in driving growth across the Wholesale channel

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and grow a portfolio of major national wholesale accounts
  • Drive commercial performance across growth, retention and new business
  • Build and maintain strong, long-term customer relationships
  • Identify opportunities to expand distribution and strengthen partnerships

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in National Account Management (Wholesale)
  • Strong commercial acumen with exposure to P&L ownership/influence
  • Confident in managing or mentoring others
  • Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
  • Proactive, hands-on approach with a strong sense of ownership
  • Inclusive leadership style

Package

£50,000 – £55,000 + bonus, £5,000 car allowance + pension. Home-based with 1 day per week in Kent.

Process

Stage 1: Introductory conversation + CV walkthrough + competency questions. Stage 2: Presentation task + final interview.
