Sales Account Manager Job at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire Full Time

K.A.G. Recruitment is proud to partner exclusively with an exciting client in the Food and Foodservice Packaging space to recruit a commercially savvy Sales Account Manager.

This is not a role where you sit back and manage the same accounts forever. This is a position for an individual who spots opportunities others miss and builds client relationships that actually move the needle.

Job Title: Sales Account Manager

Location: M4 Corridor, Hybrid – Would suit an individual ideally based around High Wycombe/Wiltshire areas Salary: £55,000 to £60,000 DOE + Bonus

Benefits: Company car or monthly car allowance, hybrid working

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

You’ll work across varied routes to market, managing key accounts, solving commercial challenges, and acting as the vital link between customers and internal teams. From lead times and pricing conversations to supply chain efficiencies and smarter packaging solutions, you’ll be the person clients trust to keep things moving.

With a hybrid working model across the M4 corridor, this role offers the flexibility to do ambitious work without your whole life revolving around your diary.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll manage and grow key accounts across the food and foodservice packaging sector, building strong relationships with customers and understanding exactly what they need before they have to chase for it.

You’ll be the go-to contact for clients, handling conversations around pricing, lead times, product availability, logistics, and supply chain challenges with confidence, clarity, and honesty.

You’ll work closely with manufacturing, logistics, and design teams to ensure customers receive seamless service and that potential issues are spotted early, not after they become a problem.

You’ll look for commercial growth opportunities within existing accounts, balancing customer expectations with profitability and long-term business value.

Most importantly, you’ll be encouraged to challenge the status quo. If a process could be better, a packaging solution could be smarter, or a client account could be developed further, your ideas will be welcomed.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone with proven experience in account management or sales within food, foodservice, packaging, or a closely related B2B environment.

You’ll understand routes to market, client relationships, and the realities of managing commercial conversations in a fast-moving supply chain environment.

You’ll be naturally inquisitive, commercially aware, and confident enough to ask the questions that lead to better outcomes.

You’ll also be a strong communicator, someone who can build trust quickly, negotiate professionally, and manage expectations without overpromising.

This role would suit someone who enjoys autonomy, values flexibility, and wants to be part of a collaborative business where your voice, ideas, and commercial instinct genuinely matter.

What’s on offer:

A competitive salary of £55,000 to £60,000, depending on experience.

A company car or a monthly car allowance.

A hybrid working model across the M4 corridor, giving you flexibility while still keeping you close to your clients and internal teams.

A full-time, permanent opportunity with a growing business in a sector that continues to evolve, innovate, and offer real career potential.
