An experienced and highly commercial Account Manager with a track record in category management for a food portfolio is sought by this busy business.
In some respects the Sales function is one of the most challenging roles in the food industry and also one of the most important and rewarding. Clearly Commercial Managers are at the sharp end of business trading relationships and have to walk a fine line between their own and their customers demands. Career progression opportunities are outstanding for individuals who perform and deliver in the function with many commercial mangers making the transition into a General Management role. The appreciation of the sector, the customers, the commercial sales issues and the operational requirements make these very well rounded and knowledgeable individuals. The career route for a National Account Manager varies and does not really have a specialist degree requirement. Many have progressed into the commercial function from a product development background and many from the technical function - in reality other disciplines that have significant customer focus. Alternatively a Business Studies degree can be a more obvious route. All the major supermarket chains have their own personality and it does translate to those individuals who work on managing their accounts. Clearly people do transfer and manage different retail accounts with many finding their niche and progressing in one or two complimentary retail accounts. For example, are you an M&S and Waitrose type? Or perhaps a Tesco or Asda type? Some of course can do it all.This is one area where personal reputation is absolutely key and unfortunately one slip can cause serious career challenges. Although the demands are significant the remuneration does mirror this.
