Retain. Grow. Upsell. Make premium hydration even bigger 

Join one of the UK’s most dynamic premium water companies. TΕ· Nant Waterproduces and distributes a portfolio of leading water brands across 4 production sites in England, Scotland and Wales — including TΕ· Nant, TAU, Llanllyr Source, Decantae, Strathmore and Fonthill Spring Water. Together, these brands give TΕ· Nant one of the strongest and most versatile water portfolios in the UK.

We’re now hiring a National Account Manager to retain, manage and strategically develop the company’s Foodservice and OOH accounts.

  • Understand each account’s needs, gaps and purchasing behaviour to grow share and drive incremental revenue.
  • Build strong, strategic relationships with buyers and key stakeholders across top customers.
  • Deliver compelling brand storytelling that elevates the extensive TΕ· Nant portfolio

About You:

  • Proven experience managing national accounts within the drinks sector, with a strong understanding of how major customers buy, review and grow categories.
  • A strong track record of strategic account development — broadening product ranges, increasing portfolio penetration and driving sustained year-on-year growth within existing customers.
  • Commercially sharp, with excellent negotiation, forecasting and financial acumen, coupled with the ability to build trusted, long-term relationships at multiple stakeholder levels.
  • A confident storyteller who can articulate premium brand values, influence customer perception and secure multi-brand opportunities across diverse account structures.
  • Highly motivated by autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to deliver measurable impact across high-value national accounts.
