Job Description:

National Account Manager – Private Label Retail – £50,000 to £60,000 Salary Manchester (Hybrid)

This isn’t a role where you inherit a quiet account base and spend your week “checking in” with customers.

You’ll be owning national retail accounts with full commercial responsibility — sales, margin, strategy, negotiations, the lot.

A proper NAM role with visibility and influence.

The role

It’s a mix of account growth, strategic planning, and making sure opportunities actually turn into revenue.

You’ll be:

Building and delivering Joint Business Plans Managing pricing, contracts, margin and commercial negotiations Working cross-functionally with finance, operations, supply chain and category teams Leading customer meetings and strategic reviews Driving volume and margin growth across the accounts Monitoring sales performance and identifying opportunities for improvement

What they’re looking for:

Experience managing national retail accounts within FMCG Private label experience helps, but not essential Strong commercial awareness and confidence around P&L ownership Comfortable working in a margin-focused environment Someone who can build relationships internally and externally without relying on job titles to do the work for them

If you want a role where you can genuinely influence customer strategy and commercial growth — rather than just maintain an account — it’s worth a conversation….
