Junior National Account Manager

Job description

Are you commercially minded, confident with P&L, and ready to step into an international role with real ownership from day one?

We’re recruiting for a Junior National Account Manager to join a growing distribution team within a fast-moving, globally recognised natural beauty and personal care brand.

This is a rare opportunity for someone who understands the commercial engine behind FMCG, has managed a P&L, and is ready to manage a diverse portfolio of international markets with genuine responsibility and visibility and a clear progression pathway within the business.

The Role

Reporting into the Head of Distribution, you’ll be entrusted with managing an existing portfolio across a varied and exciting mix of territories.

You’ll be the day-to-day commercial contact for your distributors, supporting growth, analysing performance, and ensuring strong brand presence across markets. You’ll also support on larger global accounts alongside senior team members.

This role is less about travel and more about commercial thinking, distributor management, and understanding how international FMCG really works.

What makes this role different?

• Genuine ownership of accounts from the start
• Exposure to multiple international markets (not just one region)
• Strong internal team support and mentorship
• A business where wholesale & distribution is a key growth channel
• Opportunity to work closely with an experienced International Lead (based in the Midlands)
• Clear visibility across the wider commercial function

We're looking for someone who:

• Has managed or had heavy exposure to P&L and understands commercial drivers
• Comes from FMCG / beauty / personal care / consumer goods
• Is confident managing customers and building relationships
• Is analytical, organised, and commercially curious
• Wants to learn and grow fast
• Doesn’t need prior distributor experience, just the right mindset
• Is comfortable working across different cultures and markets

Location & Flexibility

• Hybrid working: 2-3 days in London office
• Flexibility if Midlands-based
• Minimal travel abroad (occasional trips)
• 10% bonus
