National Account Manager

National Account Manager

South West (Field-Based)
Competitive Basic Salary + Car Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

Are you a strategic Account Manager with experience in foodservice, hospitality, wholesale or food supply?

We're recruiting for an exciting National Account Manager opportunity with a well-established and growing organisation that supports some of the UK's leading hospitality and catering businesses.

This is not a desk-based account management role. You'll be out with customers, building strong relationships, understanding their business, identifying opportunities and becoming a trusted commercial partner. You'll inherit a large, established national account portfolio, giving you the opportunity to focus on developing existing relationships rather than chasing new business.

The Role

You'll manage a portfolio of major multi-site customers, working closely with senior stakeholders to ensure they receive exceptional service while identifying opportunities to increase value, improve efficiencies and strengthen long-term partnerships.

This is a highly visible role where you'll spend your time visiting customers, leading business reviews and collaborating with internal teams to deliver outstanding account management.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing and developing a portfolio of large national and multi-site accounts.
• Building relationships with senior decision-makers across customer businesses.
• Conducting regular customer visits and business reviews.
• Identifying commercial opportunities to grow existing accounts.
• Working closely with internal teams and supplier partners to deliver exceptional service.
• Supporting customer retention through proactive account management.
• Acting as a trusted advisor and becoming an extension of your customers' businesses.

About You

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys relationship management and thrives on helping customers succeed.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience as a National Account Manager, Key Account Manager or Strategic Account Manager.
• A background within foodservice, hospitality, wholesale or food supply is essential.
• Experience managing large, complex or multi-site customer accounts.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to spot growth opportunities.
• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.
• A consultative approach with confidence presenting to senior decision-makers.
• The willingness to travel nationally as this is a field-based role.

What's On Offer?

• Competitive basic salary
• Car allowance
• Bonus scheme
• Home-based, field-focused role with autonomy
• Existing portfolio of established national accounts
• Genuine opportunity to make an impact within a growing business
• Long-term career progression

If you're passionate about building long-term customer relationships and have experience within the foodservice, hospitality or wholesale sector, we'd love to hear from you.
