Strategic Account Executive in London

Job description

Sales

We couldn't create the world's greatest food community without our restaurant partners, and our Sales department are driven by keeping those partners as happy and as part of the Just Eat community as they can. The Sales team's job is also to acquire new restaurant partners and welcome them into our community by introducing our values and USPs.

It's not just about getting orders though. Working for our Sales team means you'll need to hold our partners' hands throughout our partnership and provide them with the advice they'll need - as and when they need it.

The Opportunity

The Strategic Accounts team has successfully grown over the the past 18 months to become a vital key component of our strategic objectives within the UK. Over this short period the team has successfully partnered with many of the leading global, national and regional brands operating in the UK and have onboarded thousands of branded restaurant stores across the UK.

We are looking for a dynamic, talented individual to join this exciting fast paced team. This person will have the opportunity to shape, develop and grow our key partnerships with existing brands such as KFC, Burger King, Subway, GBK, Las Iguanas, Frankie & Benny's and many many more.

• Work closely and collaboratively with internal stakeholders (including delivery operations, marketing and product) to ensure seamless service delivery.
• Play an integral role in the onboarding process of all new signings, ensuring that they are optimised for success.
• Develop a deep understanding of the takeaway and dining sectors, trends and the competitive landscape.
