About Brindisa:

Brindisa is the UK’s leading importer of exceptional Spanish food, dedicated to sharing our passion for Spanish gastronomy with food lovers nationwide. From our Brindisa shops and website to our wholesale business, we bring the finest Spanish produce to Delicatessens, Restaurants, Wholesalers, and Food Halls across the country.

At the heart of our business is our restaurant sector. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a commercially driven and passionate foodie who would love to move out of the hospitality industry into a sales account management role – or a talented and experienced sales account manager – to champion our finest foods to some of our finest customers in the hospitality sector.

About the Role:

As the Account Manager for Restaurant Sales, you will play a key role in driving the growth and success of Brindisa’s foods and ingredients. With your knowledge of the industry and a passion for quality foods, you will work closely with all teams to generate demand, and build lasting relationships with both new and existing customers.

Key responsibilities include:

·       Delight us with your genuine passion and love for Spanish ingredients and the gastronomy of Spain.

·       Thrive on building relationships and securing business with restaurants, hotels, hospitality venues and catering businesses nationwide.

·       Identify new business opportunities and drive sales growth to develop and expand our wholesale network.

·       Ensure a ‘best in class’ customer service experience journey, tailoring product to meet customer needs and ensure ongoing sales, support and customer care.

·       Drive growth and retention of accounts, ensuring long term partnerships which align with Brindisa’s core culture and values.

·       Be commercially astute, manage targets, and be driven by delivering results and increasing sales opportunities with regular performance updates.

·       Work collaboratively across the wider B2B Sales Department, and cross functionally with buying, supply chain and warehouse to ensure customers receive a high- quality product with seamless service.

About You:

The ideal candidate will either be a professional chef or come from a sales or account management background. You will be someone who is driven by a genuine passion for food, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. You will take pride in developing and executing strategies that drive sales.

Our company name comes from the word ‘brindis’, to raise one’s glass in a toast, and our work over the past 37 years has been to toast and celebrate the varied cultures, landscapes and, above all the exceptional foods of Spain.  We hope you will join us!
