Key Account Manager | Fresh Produce | Home-based

We are currently working with a well regarded, multi-faceted business that supply into the horticultural and fresh produce sectors. Based in the South of the country, they are currently looking for a Key Account Manager to help them with their varied portfolio of customers. They have highlighted that they have a number of core businesses which warrant having more direct contact and are looking for someone with a good understanding of the fresh produce (ideally salads) sector.

The Job:
You will be working closely with some of their bigger customers, ensuring that their varied needs are managed appropriately and effectively.
The role will be more of a commercially focussed role, but it will help you to have a broader understanding of the industry.
Working closely with the Sales Director to ensure the business' strategy is put to best effect.

The Candidate:
You will be commercially focussed but possess a good awareness of the other areas involved in produce growing and marketing.
You will be a good self-starter and won't need someone pushing you to get things done. You will need to be able to work well autonomously as well as part of a wider team.
Good presentation and communication skills will be essential. You will be dealing with some of the largest accounts of the business so this will have a very big impact.
