About The Role

We're looking for a commercially driven Account Lead to join our Convenience team and play a pivotal role in delivering growth across one of our most important channels.

This is more than a customer management role. You'll be responsible for leading a cross-functional team, shaping customer strategy, influencing senior stakeholders, and driving outstanding commercial performance. If you thrive on building winning partnerships, negotiating complex agreements, and developing people, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll:

• Take full accountability for delivering sales, profit and commercial objectives across your customer portfolio.
• Build and strengthen strategic relationships with senior customer stakeholders, including Buying Managers and wider decision-makers.
• Identify and unlock new commercial opportunities that drive sustainable growth for both customer and business.
• Lead customer planning, execution and performance management across monthly, quarterly and annual business cycles.
• Inspire and coordinate a cross-functional team, ensuring everyone is aligned behind shared objectives and customer priorities.
• Deliver against key commercial metrics including volume, net sales revenue, forecast accuracy and customer satisfaction measures.
• Partner closely with the Customer Director to shape and execute both short and long-term customer strategies.
• Coach, develop and support team members to help them reach their full potential and accelerate their careers.

About You

• You'll be an experienced FMCG sales professional with a track record of delivering results in a fast-paced commercial environment.
• You’ll have significant FMCG commercial experience, ideally working with major retail or convenience customers.
• You’ll have proven success delivering Annual Operating Plans (AOP) and long-term growth strategies.
