This role acts as the primary commercial lead, bridging the gap between extensive European manufacturing capabilities and the specific demands of the UK private label market.

- Relationship Management: Build and maintain multi-level relationships with retail buyers, category managers, and supply chain partners.
- NPD Integration: Partner with the New Product Development team to translate market trends into commercially viable private label propositions.
- Commercial Negotiations: Lead complex tenders, annual price reviews, and contract negotiations to protect and grow margins.
- Performance Monitoring: Analyze account data and market trends to proactively address risks and capitalize on growth opportunities.
- Supply Chain Alignment: Coordinate with operations and logistics to ensure 100% service levels and accurate volume forecasting.
- Strategic Influence: Act as the "Voice of the Customer" to influence the wider UK retail strategy and manufacturing priorities.
- Operational Excellence: Manage administrative requirements including retailer portals, promotional forecasting, and pricing administration.
Success Indicators
- Revenue Growth: Achieve year-on-year sales growth targets for assigned grocery accounts.
- Margin Management: Maintain or improve P&L profitability through effective cost-price-increase (CPI) negotiations and mix management.
- Listing Gains: Secure new listings and range extensions during category review cycles.
- Service Levels: Maintain high customer satisfaction scores and meet retail-specific supply chain KPIs.
- Forecast Accuracy: Deliver monthly volume forecasts with a high degree of precision to optimize manufacturing schedules.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of National Account Management experience within the FMCG food industry .
- Retailer Knowledge: Proven track record of managing at least one "Big 4" UK grocery retailer (Tesco experience is highly preferred).
- Domain Expertise: Significant experience working with private label / retailer own-brand products.
- Financial Acumen: Strong P&L literacy, including the ability to manage trade spend and calculate complex margins.
- Negotiation Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead high-stakes tenders and annual commercial negotiations.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for effective async collaboration and stakeholder management.
- Self-Management: Proven ability to remain productive and disciplined in a fully remote/home-based environment.
Nice to Have
- Experience within chilled, frozen, snacking, or convenience food categories.
- Existing relationships with buyers in the discount, wholesale, or foodservice channels.
- Familiarity with European manufacturing processes and multi-site coordination.
- Proximity to South Wales for easier access to the primary manufacturing facility.
About the Team/Environment

The environment is high-velocity and results-oriented, valuing proactive problem-solvers who can navigate complex manufacturing landscapes. Quality standards are rigorous, reflecting the company’s position as a trusted partner for premium private label products.
