Account Manager - Coffee & Food Service

Location: Shoreditch, London (Hybrid)

Salary: £50,000 - £70,000 Base + Bonus

Sector: Coffee / Food Service / FMCG

The Opportunity: You know coffee. You know customers. Now grow something special.

This is a rare opportunity to join a premium, values-led coffee business with deep roots and massive ambitions. Our client has been a staple in the coffee world for more than a century, and their UK presence is currently in "hyper-growth" mode-doubling revenue from £12M to £25M in the last year alone.

We are looking for an experienced Account Manager from the coffee world who can take ownership of a significant existing customer base and turn strong relationships into long-term growth.

🚀 The Role

You won't be starting from zero. You will be handed a high-performing portfolio worth approximately £12M in existing revenue, acting as a trusted partner to major customers across the UK out-of-home and food service sectors.

What you'll be doing:

  • Portfolio Ownership: Managing half of the UK's existing revenue, ensuring excellent service and strong commercial performance.
  • Strategic Development: Identifying growth opportunities within your accounts-optimizing volume, product mix, and long-term equipment partnerships.
  • Relationship Building: Connecting with decision-makers who care about quality and sustainability (think major high-street names and travel hubs).
  • Brand Ambassadorship: Representing a respected global brand with authenticity and passion in their "fancy" new Shoreditch office.
  • International Reach: Traveling to historic roasteries in Sweden and Norway to immerse yourself in the craft and culture.

👀 What We're Looking For

We want someone on an "upward curve"-passionate, energetic, and ready to learn the company's unique way of working.

  • Coffee Industry Experience (Essential): You must speak the "language of coffee." Whether you've worked for a major player like Nestlé, Lavazza, or Illy, or a high-growth independent roastery, you understand the B2B coffee market.

  • The "Hybrid" Mindset: You are 50% Account Manager (nurturing relationships) and 50% Strategic Hunter (finding growth within those accounts).

  • Early to Mid-Career Focus: We are looking for someone with 2-10 years of experience who wants a long-term career path rather than someone nearing the end of their career.

  • Commercial Acumen: You understand that great coffee is a business. You can manage a £12M+ portfolio with confidence and precision.

💷 What's on Offer

  • Competitive Pay: £50,000 - £70,000 base salary (commensurate with experience).
  • Bonus: A discretionary bonus scheme that values your contribution to the business.
  • Hybrid Flexibility: A balance of Shoreditch office days and client visits. As long as you are seeing customers, your schedule is yours to manage.
  • Purpose-Driven Culture: Work with a brand that values people and sustainability over just hitting "numbers."
  • Travel: Opportunity to visit international sites and manage customers across the UK and Ireland.
