About the Role:

We are looking for a commercially driven National Account Manager to lead our Aldi and Lidl partnerships, helping to drive sustainable growth across two of the UK's most important and fast-growing retail customers.

Reporting to the Business Unit Controller, you will be responsible for developing and executing customer strategies that deliver sales, profit and market share growth across Ferrero's portfolio of iconic brands. As the primary contact for your customers, you will build strong relationships, identify new growth opportunities and ensure Ferrero remains a trusted strategic partner.

Main Responsibilities:

You will develop and implement customer business plans aligned to both Ferrero's commercial objectives and your customers' strategic priorities.

You will also collaborate with internal teams including Trade Marketing, Category Management, Finance, Demand Planning, Supply Chain and Marketing to ensure plans are executed effectively and customer needs are met.

In addition, you will continuously monitor market trends, competitor activity and shopper behaviour, using insights to identify opportunities, mitigate risks and support future business growth.

About You:

You are an ambitious and commercially minded sales professional with experience managing customer relationships within an FMCG environment. You have a proven ability to build credibility with customers, influence stakeholders and deliver results through strong commercial thinking and effective negotiation.

You are comfortable working with data and translating insight into actionable recommendations that support business growth. Highly organised and results-focused, you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy working collaboratively across multiple functions to achieve shared objectives.
