My client is an award-winning specialist FMCG hot beverage organisation. The business is a pioneer for its current brand propositioning.
The brand has developed and sustained rapid growth over the last 10 years, taking it from a niche speciality area to a household fmcg brand taking market share from large blue-chip businesses.
Brand awareness has increased to 56PERCENT through prolonged distribution in to the major multiple supermarkets.
The business still works to its eye-opening values to this day and with the increased demand for premium products for the ever discerning consumer the possibilities for this exciting and dynamic brand seem to be ever-present.
There is now a requirement for a National Accounts Manager to be dedicated to the further development of the wholesale and convenience operation.
Already having experience building long-term relationships into key wholesale outlets, especially Booker, Makro, Costco and Palmer and Harvey at head office level, you will have to drive and develop your own set of accounts.
You must come from an FMCG food or beverage manufacture background, branded and own-label. Your unrivalled knowledge of the wholesale and convenience market will enable you to progress quickly, with the financial and personal rewards for a driven individual who can succeed in this challenging but dynamic food sector. You will be operating strategically, creating long-term sales plans and implementing them. You must have the existing contacts within the key outlets to negotiate price and listing opportunities on behalf of the organisation.
This is your perfect opportunity to make a name for yourself in the wholesale fmcg sector. The vacancy is very high-profile and you will have the ability to develop and lead a long-term strategy with significant committed investment.
