Marvel FMCG is proud to be partnered with one of the most widely recognised craft beer brands in the industry, the brewery that kick-started a revolution in UK beer and hasn't slowed down since. They are now looking for a National Account Manager to own their HORECA account base.

 

The Role

 

HORECA venues, experiential spaces, on-trade operators all want something different, and the deal isn't done until the strategy, the pricing and the plan all land together.

You'll own that.

Account planning, price negotiation, marketing activation, forecasting, all of it sits with you, backed by a commercial team that knows the category inside out.

And every person in the business gets to shape it, for people, for the planet and for the beer.

 

What you'll actually be doing

 

  • Owning and growing a national account base across HORECA and experiential venues
  • Leading account planning, working across commercial, category, marketing and supply chain to land brand and commercial plans
  • Owning pricing and promotion negotiations to optimise revenue and profit
  • Using sales and category data to call the shots
  • Hunting down new business and new opportunities to deliver channel targets
  • Building the brand's category influence with every account

 

Who are you?

 

An on trade account manager ready to step into a NAM role targeted on growing exposure in HORECA spaces and experiential venues.

 

You know the UK on trade, especially the HORECA channel, and you understand the financial levers and profit drivers behind an account level P&L. You're fluent in category-based selling, account planning and B2B negotiation.

You set the strategy and bring people with you, internally and externally. And you've got the tenacity to hit targets and grow the brand's share of voice across your base.

We value experience, but If you've got the mindset and the channel know-how, we want to hear from you.

 

Package & wider benefits

 

Up to £50,000pa + £6,000 car allowance + up to 30% bonus.

 

Ways of working: Remote

 

  • Pension enhancements up to 10%.
  • A 4-week sabbatical every 5 years.
  • An extra holiday day each year.
  • 50% off brand products

 

Plus: enhanced sick pay, healthcare, life assurance, high street discounts, an employee assistance programme, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, pawternity leave, and a monthly allowance to quality check the beers. Someone has to.
