Northamptonshire UK, East Midlands, United Kingdom Food Alert Ltd Full time

Food Alert is a leading consultancy specialising in food hygiene and health & safety. We work with many high-profile hospitality clients including restaurant and pub groups, independent restaurants, and hotels.


Our compliance software is the most comprehensive platform available in the hospitality sector, covering every aspect of hygiene and safety with all our clients operating paper-free. This is supported by award-winning food data systems that manage information such as nutritional content and allergens.


We are part of the Citation Group. We offer colleagues and clients an opportunity they will not gain at many other businesses. We are interested in growth, investment, and service excellence. We have never and will never grow our business by cost cutting or tying people up in bureaucracy. We don’t do politics – we want people focused upon actions and delivery. We don’t do micro-management – we empower, support and innovate. We are leaders, not empire builders and we love our business.


The Citation Group has grown rapidly over the past few years and have big ambitions for the future. As a Private Equity backed business, the plan is to triple the size of the business over the next few years through both organic growth and acquisitions. It truly is a great place to work because the people we employ are fun, professional, and supportive.


The role

Join our dynamic Product Data team, where you will be responsible for managing and growing client relationships by selling our industry-leading enterprise product information management systems. Our software solutions, including the "Assure" platform, are designed to manage end-to-end product information, such as nutritional and allergen data, for top-tier clients like Starbucks, Mitchells & Butlers, Greene King, Azzurri Group, and JD Wetherspoon. This role is pivotal in driving business growth through effective account management and sales efforts, particularly within large pub groups, casual dining businesses, coffee chains, and grocery retailers.

  • Communicate client needs and demands to relevant internal teams.
  • Identify and pursue opportunities to expand business with existing clients.
  • Support the Product Data team with commercial queries, contract adjustments, and proposals.
  • Collaborate with the Hospitality Compliance Sales Team on business development for existing and prospective clients.

  • Deliver product demonstrations and attend sales meetings as needed.
  • Attend industry conferences, meetings, and events to promote our Product Data services and brands.
  • Stay informed about market trends and competitor activities to ensure competitive positioning.
