Position Type: Regular - Full-Time ​

Requisition ID: 45270

In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and passionate about creating exceptional work experiences - together. With a customer-first mindset, we make doing business with McCain easy.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, insight-led National Account Executive to join our high-performing FMCG team in Ireland. This is not your average sales support role – we’re seeking someone who’s just as comfortable diving into category insights and promotional effectiveness as they are managing customer relationships and executing plans.

This role is the perfect springboard for someone looking to build a career in account management, category development, or commercial strategy within FMCG. You’ll work with major retail customers, supporting national account managers in delivering best-in-class execution – and you'll stand out by bringing data-led thinking and curiosity to every conversation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support National Account Managers in the day-to-day management of key retail accounts across Ireland.
• Own elements of customer account admin: promotional planning, pricing, forecasting, and tracking.
• Collaborate closely with category and insights teams to develop compelling, customer-specific stories and presentations.
• Evaluate the performance of promotional activity and work with the wider commercial team to optimise future plans.
• Translate consumer and shopper data into actionable recommendations for both internal stakeholders and retail partners.
• Prepare and present key business updates, sales performance reports, and category reviews.
• Build and maintain strong cross-functional relationships across sales, marketing, supply chain, and category teams.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years’ experience in FMCG, preferably in a commercial, sales support, or category role.
• Experience of the Irish retail market.
• Strong analytical skills and a genuine interest in what drives consumer behaviour and category performance.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills – confident working with data and turning it into a story.
• Organised, proactive, and eager to learn – you’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Degree educated or equivalent experience.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a market-leading FMCG business with household-name brands.
• Get exposure to major retail partners and category strategy from day one.
• Learn from a talented and supportive team, with clear paths to progression.
• Hybrid working model with flexibility and autonomy.

Location.

This role is home-based with travel across the Republic of Ireland, as it covers the full region. We also have a small, close-knit team in Ireland who occasionally meet in Dublin — offering a great opportunity to connect and collaborate in person.
