Job description

Are you an experienced SNAM ready to take ownership of one of the UK's most high-profile grocery accounts? Looking for a role where protecting a market-leading position is just as important as driving future growth? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Signature Career Management are partnered exclusively with the brand driving the most growth in the high-protein category. They're now hiring a Senior National Account Manager to take ownership of Tesco, their largest customer representing 30% of the business, alongside Morrisons, their fourth largest account. Together these customers account for almost half of the company's turnover, making this one of the most commercially significant roles in the business.

Backed by an FMCG powerhouse, the brand has enjoyed seven record-breaking months in the last year and continues to challenge category norms. Having successfully repositioned themselves from a sports nutrition brand into a mainstream lifestyle product, they're now focused on protecting their hard-earned space while unlocking further growth across grocery.

This isn't a role for someone who simply manages accounts. They need someone who can spot opportunities before they become problems. Someone who naturally questions the numbers, understands what sits behind the data and builds proactive plans that keep the business one step ahead. If you enjoy digging into the detail whilst still building brilliant customer relationships, you'll thrive here.

The role:

  • Take full P&L ownership of Tesco and Morrisons, representing around 45% of the business

  • Develop and execute customer JBPs across multiple Tesco buying teams and store formats

  • Protect and grow distribution across Tesco

  • Identify commercial opportunities through detailed analysis of both top and bottom-line performance

  • Work closely with the dedicated Category Manager and wider commercial team to deliver category-led growth

  • Expand Morrisons following recent category consolidation while maintaining strong customer partnerships

  • Lead customer negotiations, promotional planning and NPD launches

You'll be / have:

  • National Account Management experience within FMCG, managing a major grocery account

  • Strong commercial acumen with experience owning a P&L and delivering customer JBPs

  • Naturally curious and analytical, always looking beyond the headline numbers

  • Able to identify risks and opportunities early, creating solutions before issues arise

  • Confident, collaborative and commercially inquisitive with strong attention to detail

  • Self-aware, resilient and accountable, with a proactive mindset and genuine desire to keep improving

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a close-knit commercial team where you'll have genuine ownership of the UK's biggest retailer, backed by an ambitious leadership team who encourage autonomy, collaboration and fresh thinking. With exciting NPD, continued category growth and a business that's still only scratching the surface of its potential, you'll have every opportunity to make a lasting impact.

They offer a hybrid/remote set up. It's a trusting environment with a high-performing culture, brilliant people and none of the corporate bureaucracy. If you're looking to step into one of the most exciting grocery-facing roles in FMCG, we'd love to hear from you.
