BUSINESS ACCOUNT MANAGER – B2B

Competitive salary + bonus, car allowance & benefits

The Company

This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK’s most respected ingredients manufacturers, supplying innovative, high-quality solutions to food manufacturers across a range of categories. With a strong track record of technical excellence and culinary innovation, the business continues to invest heavily in its UK operations, supporting ambitious growth plans and long-term customer partnerships.

The Role

You’ll be managing a portfolio of strategic B2B manufacturing accounts, delivering bespoke solutions. Working closely with procurement, NPD and technical teams on both sides, you’ll develop joint business plans, identify new opportunities, and negotiate effectively to grow long-term value.

You’ll need to be just as comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders as you are working hands-on with development and technical colleagues. This is a high-impact, visible role where you’ll have real ownership and autonomy. The role is homebased with monthly travel to the North East production site.

About You

You have a minimum of 5 years’ B2B account management experience, ideally in ingredients, flavours, seasonings or adjacent food categories.

You’re a natural foodie, with curiosity for how products are made and where ingredients add value.

You’re a sharp commercial negotiator, confident with pricing, margin management and forecasting.

You excel at building strategic, collaborative relationships across multiple functions.

You’re a self-starter, comfortable working remotely but highly engaged with internal teams.

Experience selling into UK food manufacturers is essential.

You bring energy, ambition and a results-driven mindset.
