National Account Manager (Discounters)

New Today

Job Description

Hybrid: West Yorkshire

Guide of: £55-65k + car allowance + private healthcare


We’re looking for a National Account Manager who knows how to win in the discounter channel - and isn’t afraid to open new doors.


Why’s this one different? This isn’t a “keep the lights on” account management role.

It’s about building, winning, and scaling — with real autonomy and visibility.If you like responsibility, pace, and being judged on outcomes rather than noise, this will suit you.


This is a newly created role with an innovative, growing supplier of nutritional products.


UK Discounters. New business. Full P&L. Real influence.


If you’ve negotiated with Aldi or Lidl, love a trading plan that actually lands, and get a kick out of building something rather than maintaining it… read on.


The Role

You’ll own the UK Discounter channel end-to-end while driving new business across convenience, forecourts and wholesale. You’ll sit at the heart of a highly profitable health-focused business, working closely with the leadership team and European stakeholders to deliver an ambitious 3-year growth plan.


What you’ll be doing

  • Owning and growing key UK discounter relationships (think Aldi, Lidl, B&M etc)
  • Winning new discounter listings and expanding distribution, range and promo effectiveness
  • Building new business across convenience, forecourts and wholesale
  • Creating compelling, channel-specific commercial propositions
  • Leading negotiations on terms, promotions and trading agreements
  • Taking full P&L responsibility – revenue, margin, investment and forecasts
  • Turning data into decisions (and action)
  • Collaborating cross-functionally to make launches and promotions actually work


What we’re looking for

  • 3+ years’ experience in National Account Management within FMCG (non-negotiable)
  • A proven track record in UK discounters (non-negotiable)
  • Strong new business development credentials (non-negotiable)
  • The ability to travel regularly to West Yorkshire (minimum once a week but twice a week preferred)
  • Background in health products, supplements, sports or lifestyle nutrition products would be advantageous, but an interest in those sectors is essential
  • Commercially sharp, confident owning a multi-million pound P&L


Apply now if you're ready for a fresh challenge in a business that's really going places.
