National Account Manager – Foodservice

England – Hybrid/Remote – £50,000 – £60,000 + Car & Bonus

This isn’t one of those National Account Manager roles where you inherit a few accounts and just “keep them happy.”

You’ll have accounts to grow, new business to go after, and plenty of opportunity to make a name for yourself.

The role

You’ll be managing and developing foodservice accounts — from pubs and restaurant groups through to wholesalers — while also spotting where the next opportunity is coming from.

It’s a proper commercial role selling primarily chilled & frozen products. Not just relationship management.

You’ll be:

  • Growing existing accounts and identifying new opportunities
  • Working closely with NPD, Marketing and Chefs to deliver on briefs
  • Managing projects from concept through to launch
  • Staying close to your customers — understanding what they need before they ask for it
  • Keeping everything moving commercially (and yes, that includes the detail too)

What they’re looking for

  • Proven sales or account management experience in foodservice
  • Strong relationship builder who can also spot opportunities
  • Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple moving parts

The setup

  • Home-based with travel
  • Roughly 3 days out with customers / sites, 2 days from home
  • Hybrid, flexible, and not overly corporate

If you want a role where you can actually build something — not just manage what’s already there — this is worth a look.
