There's nothing beige about McCain

Except our potatoes — and we're extremely passionate about them.

When you join McCain, you'll be joining the biggest player in the frozen potato game, bringing people together around the nation for over 60 years by sharing simple, delicious planet friendly food.

We've partnered with thousands of the country's supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, hospitals, and schools to change the way people see the humble spud.

It's all about elevation and creating something better.

So, come and make your career at McCain Foods.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Our Regional Account Executives (aka RAE's) are part of our Foodservice team, and they're on a mission to stamp out soggy fries, as well as introduce lots of culinary delights to pubs, bars, restaurants and so on across the UK (and in fact the World).

It's our RAE's job to generate new sales opportunities through new business development by presenting our ranges across our McCain products.

It's a field based role mainly covering between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Reporting into the Customer Development Manager you will also

We're looking for someone who's really hungry to progress.

Who has bags of confidence to develop new business, but who also cares about giving great service and looking after our current customers.

Strong communication, influencing and networking skills
Literacy and financially savvy. Be able to access and dissect a wide range of data
Good negotiation skills, as well as a natural but persuasive selling ability
Strong time management including planning and organising
Be a selfmotivator. Although you'll be highly connected, you won't be surrounded by your team daily so it's important you can motivate yourself
A full clean UK driving licence, and comofortable with driving to new places

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you'll be pleased to know we don't pay you in chips.

For working hard, you'll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:

A company car
Achievable personal and business performance based bonus
An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
Flexible holidays where you can buy & sell up to 5 days holiday per year
Private medical insurance scheme
Optional health cash plan
Cycle to work scheme

- 'Chips In' Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term development of McCain communities across the globe

And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future.

We have an ambitious 5 year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.

WHERE YOU'LL WORK
This is a Home Based role.

Our Head Office is in Scarborough, North Yorkshire and we operate a hybrid working policy here at McCain and our culture is based on achieving outcomes, so although we'd love to see you from time to time, we anticipate you'll spend most of your time out on the road meeting potential customers.
