Job description

Are you ready to take full ownership of a high-profile grocery account and drive the next phase of growth within a fast-scaling private label business? We’re looking for an experienced National Account Manager to step into a commercially critical 6-month FTC, leading one of the business’s most important strategic partnerships.

This isn’t just about maintaining an established relationship, it’s about unlocking new growth, bringing fresh thinking, and adding tangible value to a long-standing partnership with Tesco. The foundations are strong, the footprint is significant, and the opportunity to make an impact is real.

You’ll be empowered by best-in-class NPD capability, a collaborative and transparent commercial approach, and dedicated cross-functional support across Supply Chain, NPD and Technical. This is an environment where ideas are welcomed, creativity is backed, and delivery is expected.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

·        Full P&L ownership of Tesco, Booker and Tesco Ireland

·        Managing circa 40 SKUs across ambient & SSL, with a dynamic, seasonal pipeline

·        Leading four buyer relationships across the Tesco group

·        Working cross-functionally to ensure on time, in full delivery while identifying future growth opportunities

·        Balancing strategic account planning with strong day-to-day execution

·        Protecting and evolving a long-term partnership through solution-led, commercially focused conversations

Who you are:

·        An experienced Grocery National Account Manager (branded or private label)

·        Commercially astute, with strong P&L ownership and financial understanding

·        Relationship-driven, yet confident challenging and influencing to drive the right outcomes

·        Passionate about NPD, with the creativity to bring compelling new ideas to buyers

·        A strong stakeholder manager with solid supply chain and route-to-market knowledge

·        Self-sufficient, driven, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a visible role

If you’re a commercially sharp, relationship-focused Account Manager who thrives on engaging buyers, spotting growth levers, and delivering impact at pace, this is your opportunity to step into a highly visible role and make a difference in a short space of time.
