Talent Guardian is partnering with a well-established and fast-growing fresh and frozen foodservice supplier to find an ambitious National Account Manager to own and grow their biggest, highest-volume accounts.
This is an entrepreneurial, autonomous role for a commercially sharp operator — not a corporate box-ticking job. If you're motivated by winning big accounts and being rewarded directly for the profit you generate, this one's worth a look.
The role You'll own and grow multi-site and national business across foodservice, with a clear mandate to land bigger, higher-volume accounts — think contract caterers, airlines, meal manufacturers, football clubs, cruise lines, hotels, pubs and QSR. The focus is high-end, high-value business, not commodity.

Build head-office relationships across buyers, food development, NPD, technical and supply chain
Lead tenders, central negotiations, listings, trials and multi-site rollouts
Spot and shape NPD opportunities with development chefs
Own your pipeline and lead generation using CRM and market data tools
Stay commercially rigorous on margin, terms and forecasting What we're looking for
6+ years in national or key account management within foodservice supply
Experience selling to QSR, pub, casual dining or large-volume foodservice groups (essential)
A proven record of winning and rolling out multi-site/national listings
Some NPD exposure and the commercial acumen to spot new opportunities
A genuinely commercial, entrepreneurial mindset
Protein category knowledge is desirable, but we're open to strong candidates from other categories What's on offer
Basic salary of £55,000–£70,000 depending on experience
Commission of approx. 10% of profit generated — a genuine high-earning opportunity for a strong performer building a £1.2m–£1.5m territory
Company car or car allowance following probation
Field-based, with a few office catch-up days (office within ~1 hour)
An autonomous, non-corporate culture where you can make the role your own
£55,000-£70,000 per annum
