Account/Key Account Manager - Bulk Ingredients at Green Origins

Where: Sheffield, United Kingdom

Deadline: July 9, 2020

Type: Graduate

About the company

Green Origins is a leading European superfoods business based on the outskirts of Sheffield. Established in 2008, we import a range of 80+ superfoods direct from growers around the world and sell them under our own brands, in bulk and in private label. We are the BRAND behind many UK and European superfood brands.

About the role

Working closely with the Sales Manager and Supply Chain team, your main objective will be to maximise the amount of business generated by customers in your account portfolio. You will do this by developing a detailed understanding of the customers needs and how our products can satisfy those needs. This understanding combined with excellent customer service and empathy will be the basis of creating long term relationships which move towards close partnerships. The role is a combination of reactive order management (with up-selling and cross-selling where appropriate) and proactive business development where you look to introduce products from our range to the customer where they are either not selling that product currently or are buying elsewhere and are not actively looking for new suppliers. Your account base will be a mixture of end-user manufacturers, SME businesses and resellers. You will be expected to proactively contact these accounts regularly by phone balancing business development within your customer base with day to day order management. Time management and effective communication skills are essential to maximising customer service and mutual value creation. The major KPIs will be sales and margin, with an uncapped bonus structure in place based on both individual and team performance.

Requirements

This role would suit a candidate who is ambitious, energetic and wants to get ahead by demonstrating the right ability and attitude. Green Origins is growing rapidly, so the opportunities for promotion are limited only by your success in the role.
