Are you passionate about fresh produce? Do you have a flair for stakeholder management and a drive to exceed targets? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

What will you be doing?

As a Fresh Produce Account Manager you will play a pivotal role in supporting all larger key accounts and corporate customers by implementing, monitoring, reporting and forecasting on sector and division performance against sales budget and cash margin, in order to maximise future performance. This role is a Nationwide role, covering the entirety of the UK and you will be required to travel as and when needed, although this is infrequent.

• Support existing business within key accounts and corporate
• Conduct customer reviews, presentations, new bids, product matches for tenders and manage pipeline
• Engage with large category buyers offering expertise and resolutions around any challenges
• High level of stakeholder management with key internal and external contacts whilst selling new initiatives

What we are looking for:

Ideally it would be great if you have an understanding of the hospitality market place, or have a background within fresh produce, however this isn't essential.

We are looking for someone who has excellent stakeholder management expertise with the ability to prioritise workload by importance to deliver results.

This isn't a sales role, so we are not looking for sales experience, however you'll need to be passionate about the category and have first rate communication and presentation skills with the ability to think outside the box.
