Pin-It Pastry is growing. As a result, we are looking for an experienced National Account Sales Manager to join our team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a sales professional with experience in frozen food, wholesale or foodservice. You will help us develop new business while strengthening relationships with existing customers across the UK.

The role is full-time and permanent. It is also home-based, with regular travel to meet customers throughout the country.

Join a Growing UK Pastry Manufacturer

Pin-It Pastry has been crafting fine pastry since 1972.

Today, we supply frozen pastry solutions to bakery, foodservice and manufacturing businesses across the UK. Our range includes pastry shapes, sheets, blocks and rolls. In addition, we develop bespoke pastry solutions around individual customer requirements.

Because every customer is different, our sales team does much more than simply sell products.

Instead, we listen to each customer, understand their operation and identify the right solution. This approach helps us build stronger and longer-lasting commercial relationships.

Our new National Account Sales Manager will play an important role in that process.

What Will You Be Doing?

The role combines national account management with new business development.

You will identify new opportunities across the wholesale and foodservice sectors. At the same time, you will manage and grow relationships with existing accounts.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new wholesale and foodservice business;
• Managing key customer relationships;
• Meeting prospective and existing customers;
• Presenting products and commercial solutions;
• Negotiating agreements;
• Managing your sales pipeline;
• Monitoring competitors and market developments;
• Identifying changing customer requirements; and
• Working towards agreed sales targets.

You will also work closely with colleagues across the business. Therefore, good communication is just as important as strong sales ability.

For example, you may work with our operations, logistics and marketing teams to support a customer opportunity.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for someone with proven sales experience.

Ideally, you will already understand the frozen food, wholesale or foodservice markets. Experience in business development and national account management would also be valuable.

However, commercial awareness alone is not enough.

You should enjoy building relationships and opening new doors. You will also need confidence when presenting, negotiating and discussing customer requirements.

Organisation is equally important because you will manage your own diary and sales pipeline.

As this is a national role, regular UK travel will be required. Therefore, applicants must hold a full UK driving licence.

Above all, we want someone proactive.

If you enjoy spotting opportunities and turning conversations into long-term partnerships, this role could be an excellent fit.

What Does Pin-It Pastry Offer?

We understand that the right package matters.

Therefore, the role includes a competitive base salary alongside performance-related bonus or commission.

The successful applicant will also receive:

• Company car or car allowance;
• Company pension scheme;
• Flexible home working when not travelling;
• Ongoing skills development; and
• Opportunities for career progression.

You will join an established pastry manufacturer with more than five decades of industry experience.

However, we continue to evolve.

That means the successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute ideas, develop new relationships and support our continued growth.

Why Join Pin-It Pastry?

Our customers rely on us for quality, consistency and flexibility.

From our Bridgend facility in South Wales, we produce frozen pastry for professional customers across several sectors.

We also understand that one solution does not suit every business. Consequently, our ability to develop bespoke products is an important part of what we offer.

For a talented salesperson, this creates plenty of opportunity.

You will have established products to represent, specialist expertise behind you and the flexibility to discuss individual customer requirements.

Most importantly, you will help shape new commercial relationships across the UK.
