National Account Manager

💥 National Account Manager 💥

❤️ Personal care brand

📍Hybrid - 3 days in London Bridge (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), WFH Monday & Friday

💸 Salary between 45-55k (DOE) + equity!

Ignite are delighted to be working with a very exciting personal care brand that are on a mission to change bathroom habits to make them more sustainable, cleaner and whole lot less wasteful. Retail is their fastest-growing channel and they are now looking for their first dedicated retail hire: a National Account Manager to own, nurture and grow these relationships.

This role is all about making this brand a standout partner for their existing retailers: building deep relationships with buying teams, landing joint business plans, winning range reviews, and driving rate of sale so that every store that stocks this product, sells more.

What skills do you need to have to be considered?

⭐️Candidates MUST have proven experience as a NAM (or strong NAE ready to step up) - ideally personal care, health & beauty or wellness

⭐️Experience managing Boots and/or Holland & Barrett (or comparable UK health & beauty retailers) – you know how these buying teams work.

⭐️ A track record of growing existing accounts: JBPs landed, range reviews won, rate of sale moved.

⭐️ Commercially sharp: comfortable owning a P&L, trade spend and promotional ROI.

⭐️ Fluent with EPOS and category data – you turn numbers into a story a buyer wants to act on.

⭐️ Comfortable being the first retail hire in a scaling business: self-sufficient, organised, and happy to build the playbook rather than inherit one.

In return for everything you can bring, the business can offer you 🚀:

⭐️Competitive basic salary (£45-55k, depending upon experience)

⭐️Hybrid working policy - Monday & Friday WFH

⭐️ EMI stock options

⭐️ Private Healthcare

⭐️‘Curiosity Pass’ – paid-for annual visit to a museum, art gallery, craft, or cultural experience
