About Us
Galeta is not a typical bakery. We’re one of the UK’s fastest-growing wholesale bakeries, supplying handmade, premium bakes to some of the most recognisable names in food and culture, from Selfridges and Tate to London’s best independent cafés, coffee roasters and hospitality groups.
Everything we do is built around craft, reliability and relationships. We bake fresh every day, we deliver early, and we take our customers’ trade seriously. That mindset runs through the whole business, including sales
About the role
We’re looking for a driven Account Manager to take ownership of a key portfolio of London wholesale customers, while also helping us bring new accounts into the Galeta family.
This is a hands-on, outward-facing role with real responsibility. You’ll be trusted to manage and grow relationships, protect revenue, and spot opportunities to do more with the right customers. You’ll spend time on the phone, on the road, in cafés and kitchens, and in constant conversation about how Galeta can support our customers’ trade better..

- Working closely with CX, operations and production to resolve issues quickly and protect customer confidence
- Delivering against clear KPIs across acquisition, retention and account growth

You’ll likely have
- Proven experience in sales or account management, ideally within food, hospitality or coffee
- A strong understanding of London’s café and hospitality scene
- Confidence picking up the phone, walking into venues and starting conversations
- A proactive, self-directed approach with strong time management
- Good commercial instincts and a genuine interest in great food and drink
Why Join Galeta?
- Represent one of London’s most respected and ambitious artisan bakery brands
- Join a fast-growing business where sales performance genuinely matters
- Real ownership of accounts and the freedom to build relationships properly
- Competitive salary of £50k OTE, with clear scope to grow as the business scales
