National Account Manager Grocery Retail

Team: Strategic / Key Accounts Location: Dublin (Hybrid)

About the Role

This is a genuine opportunity to build a career in strategic account management with a well-established FMCG business in Ireland. Based in Dublin, the role sits within a high-performing commercial team and reports into the Ireland Head of Sales.

You'll take on responsibility for the commercial P&L of one of the business's Top 3 grocery customers - a brilliant opportunity to develop your commercial acumen while working closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation. This role is designed for growth: you'll be given real ownership from day one, with the support and mentorship to build your skills in relationship management, negotiation and strategic account planning.

If you're looking for a role that will genuinely stretch and develop you - rather than one where you're simply maintaining the status quo - this is it.

Why Join

• A business with a strong track record of growth and an ambitious plan for the years ahead
• A highly engaged team culture, with strong feedback on management, support and belonging
• Category-leading market share across core brands
• A genuine focus on wellbeing, including organised wellness activities and mental health supports

What You'll Do Understand the Business and Build Financial Fluency

Work with internal and external data to identify sales opportunities and growth areas. You'll build your financial competence over time, taking increasing ownership of forecasting and P&L management for your customer.

Sell with Insight and Impact

Collaborate with colleagues across the business to shape account strategies that are simple, sharp and grounded in data. You'll learn to turn analysis into a story that resonates with your retail partner.

Deliver Commercial Plans

Support the delivery of in-store and online plans, learning to manage projects with pace and precision. You'll be involved in negotiations, gaining exposure to how mutually beneficial commercial agreements are reached.

What We're Looking For

• Some experience in account management, sales or customer relationship management, ideally within FMCG or a related sector
• A confident communicator who's comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a genuine appetite to take ownership
• A degree is preferred but not essential if you can demonstrate the right skills and mindset
• Comfortable working with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel

This role is best suited to someone early in their account management career who's ready for their next step up. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

• Communication: You're comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and adapting your style to your audience
• Resilience: You take setbacks in your stride and keep moving forward
• Simplicity: You cut through complexity and get to the point
• Analytical mindset: You can turn data into clear, actionable insight
• Team spirit: You know the best results come from working well with others
