Working in a fast-paced FMCG food or drinks manufacturer, the role of Senior National Account Manager sits within the commercial sales team and will report into the Sales Controller, Commercial Controller or sometimes Sales Director. Whilst Senior National Account Managers are the day to day contact for the retail client, managing the profit and loss (P&L) for their branded or own label (private label) category portfolio, they also tend to have a team reporting into them or National Account Managers.

Considering relocating?

Lincoln is a cathedral city, located in the East Midlands region of England. This area boasts railway links to cities across the UK, including London, Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley and Nottingham, making it a suitable location for anyone looking to commute both short and long distances.

With an economy based mainly on public administration, commerce, farming and tourism, this is not an ideal location for anyone seeking work within the manufacturing industry as many units now sit empty. However don’t let this trick you into believing it is not a profitable area as tourism and retail performs especially well.
