Are you looking for a fantastic opportunity to kickstart a future career in Customer Account Management within one of the UK’s biggest drinks businesses?
I am recruiting for a role perfectly suited to candidates who are organised, proactive and keen to learn, whether or not you’ve worked in sales before.
This is a National Account Executive role with SHS Drinks, supporting Account Managers and the Sales Controller across the Impulse/Convenience (ICC) and Out Of Home (OOH) channels, helping drive sales and brand objectives for some of the UK’s most recognised drinks names including WKD, Merrydown, Bottlegreen, Shloer and Rocks.
Ways of Working: Hybrid – 3 days per week at head office (Manderson House, Brockworth, Gloucester)
Full training provided across all core SHS systems and processes
Why this role?
- You’ll be working alongside experienced Account Managers and the Sales Controller, getting hands‑on exposure to how a major FMCG sales team really operates.
- This role offers genuine variety, from supporting customer artwork and managing debt resolution, to building sales reportage and attending Trade Shows.
- You’ll be entrusted with your own small portfolio of customer accounts, giving you real account management experience from day one.
- A business committed to developing their people, with this role designed as a springboard into a future Account Management career.
- Work across functions including Brand Marketing, Finance, Demand Planning and Commercial Planning, building a broad understanding of how a drinks business runs end to end.
The Role…
You’ll be a key support contact for Account Managers, liaising on customer artwork, managing the ICC/OOH debt process and resolving invoice queries within agreed timeframes, and pulling together sales data and reportage using SAP/SAC dashboards to support customer and internal meetings. You’ll help manage 3rd party On Trade contract details, support ad-hoc customer requests for information, and take responsibility for maintaining tools like the Daily Brand Tracker and Lightning Round forecasting. Alongside this, you’ll manage a small portfolio of your own customer accounts, and have the opportunity to represent SHS Drinks at Customer events such as Trade Shows.
The Company…
SHS Drinks is a major force in the FMCG sector, both in the UK and internationally. Alongside distributing some of the UK’s most recognisable alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks brands, they create and market their own ready-to-drink (RTD) and ready-to-serve (RTS) ranges, with a strong track record of year‑on‑year brand growth across the UK market.
We’re looking for a well‑organised, positive and proactive individual who enjoys supporting colleagues to hit team goals. You’ll be comfortable managing multiple responsibilities and requests, sometimes at short notice, with strong Excel, PowerPoint and Word skills essential. Previous sales experience isn’t necessary, but a willingness to take on your own customer portfolio alongside your core support duties will be very much encouraged. An inquisitive mindset is a real asset here — there’ll be plenty of opportunity to find better ways of working as you go.
