At Krispy Kreme, we're passionate about making every day a little sweeter. Our retail partnerships help bring our iconic doughnuts to more customers - and we're looking for a commercially driven National Account Manager to grow those partnerships across Ireland.

If you love building strong customer relationships, spotting opportunities and turning ambitious plans into results, this could be your next move. Your next sweet opportunity. Reporting to our Sales Controller, you'll manage key partners including Tesco Ireland, Hendersons and Motorway Service Operators, driving profitable growth and helping our brand stand out across their stores. This is a hands on role with plenty of variety. From shaping joint business plans and leading customer negotiations to improving availability and delivering brilliant in store execution, you'll connect commercial strategy with the detail that makes it happen.

What you'll be doing

• Building trusted partnerships: Own day-to-day customer relationships, working closely with buying, commercial and operational teams. Lead customer meetings and business reviews, using insights to influence decisions and secure support for growth.
• Delivering profitable growth: Take ownership of account revenue, volume and profitability targets. Develop joint business plans aligned with our UK & Ireland priorities and unlock opportunities in distribution, ranging, space and secondary displays.
• Making our brand stand out: Drive same store sales through strong availability, effective promotions and compelling in store presence. Lead customer plans for product launches and seasonal activity, ensuring agreed pricing, ranging and merchandising standards are delivered.
• Connecting teams to deliver: Collaborate with Demand Planning, Supply Chain, Marketing, Finance, operational teams and distributors to execute customer plans, minimise waste and resolve challenges quickly.
• Turning insight into action: Analyse sales, volume, availability and waste to identify opportunities and risks. Maintain accurate forecasts, track performance against budget and evaluate promotional return on investment.
• Finding our next opportunity: Identify new growth opportunities across Ireland and work with the Sales Controller to move them forward.
