About The Role. We’re looking for a commercially sharp, insight-led National Account Executive to join our high-performing team. This is not your average sales support role – we’re seeking someone who’s just as comfortable diving into category insights and promotional effectiveness as they are managing customer relationships and executing plans.
This role is the perfect springboard for someone looking to build a career in account management, category development, or commercial strategy within FMCG. You’ll work with major retail customers, supporting national account managers in delivering best-in-class execution – and you'll stand out by bringing data-led thinking and curiosity to every conversation.

What You’ll Need To Be Successful.
Benefits Of The Role. Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in chips. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:
And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an ambitious 5 year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.
About The Team. The Retail Sales team at McCain is made up of three closely connected functions – Sales, Category, and Demand. Each customer and channel benefits from dedicated support across all three functions, with daily collaboration to share insight and drive results. We are a winning team, and we’re proud to say we finished top in The Advantage Group across all categories for the 5th year running.
Where will I work. Being in the office every single day is a thing of the past. Here at McCain, we champion hybrid working. This means we don’t have a set expectation of exactly when you need to be in the office – however we do encourage our full-time, office-based people to connect in person with others for around half of their working time as that’s the best way for us to build and maintain our connections. Our head office (Customer Experience Centre) is on the outskirts of Scarborough – 1.5 hours away from Leeds City Centre, and about an hour from York. We have lots of colleagues who travel to and from our Experience Centre (even if it is just for a good coffee!) and because hybrid really does mean hybrid at McCain, they get the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues when they’re in the office, and balance that with working from home to ensure they get a good life-work balance.
