  • Developing and Implementing Sales Strategies: Devise and execute sales strategies to attain revenue and volume objectives within designated national accounts.
  • Building and Maintaining Relationships: Foster strong relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders within national account customers.
  • Negotiating Terms and Agreements: Negotiate pricing, terms, and contracts with national account customers to optimize profitability and establish mutually beneficial partnerships.
  • Forecasting and Demand Planning: Analyze market trends, consumer behavior, and historical data to forecast demand accurately and ensure efficient stock management for customers.
  • Promotional Planning and Execution: Create tailored promotional programs and campaigns for customers to enhance product visibility, sales, and market share.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with internal teams such as marketing, supply chain, finance, and product development to align strategies, address issues, and seize opportunities within the sector.
  • Monitoring and Analyzing Performance: Continuously monitor sales performance, market trends, and competitive activities within the sector. Utilize data analysis to identify areas for improvement and develop actionable insights.
  • Providing Market Intelligence: Stay abreast of industry developments, competitor strategies, and regulatory changes affecting the soft drinks market in the UK. Offer insights and recommendations to senior management based on market intelligence.
  • Ensuring Compliance: Ensure adherence to all contractual agreements, regulatory requirements, and company policies while conducting business with national account customers.
  • Driving Customer Satisfaction: Proactively address customer inquiries, concerns, and issues to uphold high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty within national accounts.
  • Financial Management: Effectively manage budgets, promotional funds, and expenses related to account activities.
  • Strategic Planning: Contribute to the development of long-term strategic plans for the soft drinks business by providing insights and recommendations based on sector performance and market dynamics.
  • Adapting to Market Changes: Remain agile and responsive to shifts in the soft drinks market, consumer preferences, and competitive landscape, adjusting strategies and tactics accordingly.
  • Representing the Company: Serve as a brand ambassador at industry events, trade shows, and customer meetings to promote brand awareness and cultivate positive relationships with stakeholders.


This role offers a unique opportunity for a seasoned professional to make a significant impact within a dynamic industry. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are passionate about driving growth and innovation, we encourage you to apply.
