Are you ready to be part of a vibrant, purpose-driven brand revolutionising the functional drinks industry? We are seeking a National Account Manager to lead the contract catering channel, driving growth and spreading the goodness of their product.

The functional drinks, crafted from a fruit harvested in Southern Africa, offer natural energy and support gut health. Beyond their products, they are committed to environmental sustainability and community empowerment, with projects spanning education and conservation in rural Southern Africa. As a B Corp certified company and carbon-neutral since the start, they’re not just about profit—They’re about purpose.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage and grow contract catering channels, from negotiations to on-site execution.
  • Collaborate with the wider team to develop and implement growth strategies, leveraging key relationships with distributors like Brakes & DDC.
  • Lead sampling initiatives and support trade shows, events, and activations.
  • Provide valuable insights and performance data to drive informed decision-making.
  • Work closely with the marketing team to execute account-level investments and activations.
  • Uphold the brand values and foster positive relationships with stakeholders.


Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in the UK food & beverage industry.
  • Previous experience working with Bidfood and Brakes is essential.
  • Willingness to travel across the UK for customer engagements.
  • Proven track record of managing sales budgets and delivering ROI in the contract catering sector.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and team collaboration skills.
  • Ambitious, proactive, and passionate about sustainability.



Benefits:

  • £60 - £65k
