Think:

Winning new corporate clients across London.

Being the go-to contact for the office managers and EAs who rely on you to make them look good.

Shaping the menus, campaigns and customer experience behind a catering business that's already turning over £2.5m+, and building the team as it grows.

I'm working with a much-loved, fast-growing Italian food brand in London, and they're looking for a Catering Sales & Account Manager to take their corporate catering business to the next level.

This is a broad, hands-on commercial role based in Holborn, in an office connected to the production kitchen. You'll find and win new corporate customers, grow and reactivate existing accounts, and look after clients when it matters most, from live order support to post-delivery follow-up. You'll also get stuck into CRM, marketing campaigns, third-party catering platforms and menu development, giving you visibility across the whole business.

You don't need to have done it all before!

Marketing, CRM, menu development and platform management can all be taught. What they're looking for is someone who genuinely loves sales and customer service. Someone who picks up the phone, follows up when others give up, and gets a buzz from winning new business. Someone who's just as comfortable in a busy food environment as in a client conversation.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• Have 2–5 years' experience in catering, events, hospitality or food & drink sales, account management or business development
• Have real sales experience, such as outbound prospecting, generating leads, converting enquiries or winning new accounts
• Have looked after corporate clients and know how to turn a problem into a loyal customer
• Are hungry, ambitious and excited by the idea of building something
• Are organised, adaptable and happy juggling live orders, prospects and projects at once
• Thrive in a fast-paced, operational environment rather than a quiet corporate office

What's in it for you?

• £35k base salary + benefits
• Monday to Thursday office-based, with flexibility to WFH on Fridays
• Genuine ownership of a growing catering business from day one
• Exposure across sales, customer experience, commercial strategy, marketing and operations
• A clear growth path as the catering team expands, with the potential to step up into a Head of Catering-type role

If you're commercially hungry, have excellent client relations skills, and want to grow a catering business rather than just manage one, we'd love to hear from you.
