Territory Account Manager F&B

Territory Account Manager – Processed Food Sector

We’re hiring a Territory Account Manager to support and grow key accounts across the Processed Food sector in the Peterborough area.

You’ll take ownership of a defined territory and a portfolio of nominated accounts, using a Trusted Advisor approach to deliver exceptional service, drive performance and identify opportunities for growth. Because hygiene teams operate around the clock, flexibility is essential — typically 4–5 evening or night visits per month, plus 2–3 overnight stays depending on the geography of your region.

This is a role for someone who thrives on variety, values long‑term customer partnerships and enjoys combining technical understanding with commercial responsibility.

• Set and deliver SMART goals that drive territory and customer performance.
• Lead problem‑solving and process improvement initiatives across customer sites.
• Achieve agreed sales targets and service levels.
• Build strong, long‑term customer relationships using a Trusted Advisor approach.
• Train customer teams on the safe handling of chemicals.
• Support the creation and maintenance of hygiene schedules when required.
• Conduct audits in line with the Service Level Agreement.
• Maintain a structured territory coverage plan and accurate customer documentation.
• Use company and customer reporting systems to ensure clear, timely information flow.
• Follow all approved policies, procedures and compliance standards.

• Experience in a similar role within the Processed Food sector (essential).
• Qualification in Food Science, Microbiology, Chemistry or a related field (desirable).
• BRC‑recognised Internal Auditor qualification (desirable).
• Minimum two years’ experience in food manufacturing or processing.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels.
• Self‑motivated, proactive and confident working independently.
• Flexible and resilient, with the ability to adapt to varied hours and customer needs.
