AMICUS RECRUITMENT has one of the best opportunities in the marketplace within sales and within the FMCG sector! Why? It is the company! as simple as that really! the brands; their success within the market and their success- quite simply; it is unrivalled and due to a move; they are now looking for a proven; hardworking commercial National Account Manager to join their National Accounts/ Sales team. This year has brought some obvious challenges as a result of Covid, but my Client is continuing to grow and deliver to their Customer base.
With regards to their portfolio; my client has some of the most cutting edge; popular brands in the marketplace. For this position; it would be advantageous if you have worked in/ experience working with customers in the Grocery sector but it’s not a pre-requisite. This role will work across both Grocery and Wholesale. In terms of specific duties; you must be commercial as you will be responsible for trade plans and JBP negotiation and have both a Customer and Brand focus.
Why this opportunity?
Whilst it is an exciting place to work- very fast paced- and can be challenging so you must have the ability to prioritise but what I really like about the company and culture is the collaborative approach- my client’s culture demands a lot of people but they all row in together . You will gain invaluable exposure as you will be working across the Wholesale and Retail categories. I have been fortunate to place both the Channel Controller ( who the role will report too) and a National Account Manager on the team. Another sell- is that there is little red- tape or layers that you would get in other Food/Drinks Companies.
Another sell to this position; is the Channel Controller -he is calm; a really strong leader; has a wealth of FMCG experience and I know for a fact; supports his team whist giving them the freedom to succeed. He said the following ” Denis I would really like to see someone with energy; structured in approach but at the same time; prepared to be flexible as specific requests can arise at any time. The successful candidate must be commercial; close to the numbers and be able to build up strong relationships with the relevant buyers and equally; with internal stakeholders within the Business. Covid has brought a lot of challenges but at the same time some avenues for growth; so I want to see someone who can display critical thinking; spot opportunities and have the drive to succeed.”
