United Kingdom onlyWe’re looking for a passionate and driven Partner Manager / National Account Manager to drive distribution and growth of the Maverick Drinks brand portfolio across the luxury and independent retail channel, act as a consultant to the trade and bringing customers on the craft spirits journey with us.
A huge amount of our Partners are London based, so you'll need to be within a one hour commute from the Capital and willing to travel there regularly.
Who we are we
Our philosophy is simple. We make and select liquids that are the best they can possibly be, and package them in a way that’s awesome. We don’t compromise, we don’t cut corners and we don’t strive to fill niches or build back from arbitrarily-defined price-points. We build the very best liquids that we can, day-in, day-out - and our people are the key to achieving this.
About the Role
You'll create the luxury and independent retail strategy in line with the Maverick strategic objectives and develop joint business plans in order to deliver against the budgeted growth targets for your channel, managing the full commercial picture from accurate forecasting to A&P investment.
Using your expertise of the craft spirits category and consumer, you'll share category trends and insights to facilitate decision making and product ranging, leading to a greater presence for our brands, driving distribution, visibility and rate of sale of the Maverick Drinks core range. Along-side all of this you will;
- Act as the eCommerce consultant for our online specialist luxury and independent retailers and manage the profitability of the customers accordingly.
- Utilise the wider internal team, including our world class portfolio brand ambassadors, to deliver liquid, brand and category training to embed our brands and drive value for the customer.
- Work closely with our trade to identify future opportunities within your account base, and create compelling craft category propositions.
- Attend channel and customer trade shows to broaden your network and influence across your customer base to create ongoing opportunities for the business.
Please apply if you have...
- Solid experience of a national account management role within the spirits industry and at a blue chip company
- Strong industry knowledge, including proven experience of delivering exceptional NPD launches within the spirits category and a strong product knowledge spanning all categories of spirits, preferably along with a working knowledge of the craft spirits category
- Strong commercial acumen, numerical skills and attention to detail (coming together to provide P+L management capability) and an ability to deliver mutual value at every level of the customer hierarchy, specifically with senior stakeholders
- Excellent ability to prioritise workloads, manage deadlines, and thrive in a fast-paced environment as well as an ability to work independently, responsibly, and to collaborate with individuals and teams
- This role is field-based and will require nationwide travel; a full UK driving licence is therefore required
This sounds like a bit of me, what do I get in return?
It’s a fair question in a really competitive market for great talent…
We’re all about boundless curiosity, so you’ll discover loads of opportunities to spark your creative flair and work along-side unreal talent who all have the same job description, to ‘Make Atom Successful.’ Trust is at the epicentre of all that we can do, so you’ll work in a transparent and honest environment where we have each other’s backs, and be free of aging corporate policies and rules.
Life here’s about so much more than pay and benefits - you might get a slightly higher salary if you cram onto an expensive, crowded commuter train into the city, but you’ll struggle to find a company with the flex, agility and unique-ness that we have. In short, we’ve got you covered financially but if money is your main driver, we’re not for you.
We hate waste in all of it’s forms and time is no different, so we’re focused on productivity and output rather than when or where you work, or what you wear into the office - you can come in fancy dress for all we care! This means that although we can’t promise anything, flexible working options are built into our DNA.
Along with the stuff you get for turning up to work each day (think private healthcare scheme, unlimited annual leave, pension, cycle-2-work, eye care, enhanced maternity & paternity leave, free food, drinks and parking at the office), you’ll also get a healthy staff discount on our world-class range (just in case that makes a difference).
We don’t sit still, and there’s a lot more to come... Apply now if you want to join us.
