National Account Manager

More People are working with ESG Drysdale to recruit a National Account Manager as the business continues to grow its commercial team.

You’ll take ownership of key retail accounts, with some involvement across B2B and food service. This is a role for someone who enjoys the pace of fresh food:

• Building strong customer partnerships
• Spotting commercial opportunities
• Making sound decisions when demand and availability change quickly
• Working with colleagues across agriculture, operations, technical and supply chain to deliver for customers

The right person will be commercially capable, comfortable with people and confident enough to ask questions and challenge constructively, while building strong relationships across the business.

• At least two years’ retail account management experience in fresh food
• Experience working with multiple retailers
• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to turn data into action
• The confidence to build relationships internally and externally
• Someone organised, adaptable and happy to take ownership of their work
• Fresh produce and own-label experience would be useful, as would experience with Power BI or relevant apps.

The role offers the option of hybrid working, with one day a week at either the Cockburnspath, in the Scottish Borders or Cupar, Fife site. That said, you’ll need to be able to make that journey regularly and be flexible when the role calls for it.
