Key Account Manager

Our client is a well-established, international food and drink business with a strong heritage and a portfolio of well-recognised brands across multiple categories. Operating within the UK market as a key division of a global organisation, the business has built a strong presence across foodservice, wholesale and retail channels. With a continued focus on growth within foodservice, the business is investing in its commercial capability and looking to strengthen its team with the appointment of a Key Account Manager to support the next phase of expansion. We are partnering with a leading food business to recruit a Key Account Manager focused on driving growth across the foodservice channel. This role will be responsible for managing and developing existing customer relationships, while also actively identifying and securing new business opportunities across restaurant groups, purchasing groups and contract caterers. You will take full ownership of your customer base, managing day-to-day relationships, delivering against sales and profit targets, and working cross-functionally to ensure strong execution across the business. Alongside account management, this role will have a strong new business focus, requiring a proactive and commercially driven individual who is confident in building pipelines and converting opportunities into long-term partnerships.
