Full job description

At Zeelandia, we’re excited to be recruiting a Key Account Manager to join our fantastic team. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who has a proven track record in account management, enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, and is passionate about delivering value to customers.

What really makes Zeelandia special is our genuine commitment to our people. We don’t just talk about wellbeing, we live it. Our holistic approach is underpinned by a wide range of supportive policies covering areas such as mental health, cancer support, miscarriage, menopause, carers, domestic violence, fostering and volunteering, ensuring our colleagues feel supported through every stage of life.

Our values sit at the core of everything we do. We believe in acting with integrity and respect, taking ownership, and going above and beyond for each other and our customers. We encourage innovation that has purpose, support those who champion positive change, and are driven by a genuine passion for success, balancing high standards with a supportive, inclusive approach. If these values resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home at Zeelandia.

Alongside this, we offer a strong wellbeing and engagement culture, including onsite Mental Health First Aiders, regular speaker sessions and coffee mornings, annual NHS health checks, flu jab vouchers, and eye care support. Our Employee Assistance Programme provides free counselling, resources, and access to a dedicated menopause coach, complemented by our Grocery Aid partnership, offering additional emotional, practical, and financial support for you and your family.

We’re also passionate about helping our people grow, with access to internal and external training, and mentorship. Our inclusive culture is supported through active working groups, including DEI and employee involvement forums, as well as initiatives such as supporting neurodivergent-friendly spaces, quiet hours, and a multi-faith room.

Beyond the day job, we bring people together through company events, recognition schemes like Core Values and Long Service Awards, and meaningful CSR initiatives, from Bake for Ukraine to supporting local communities, schools, and charities. With additional benefits such as cycle to work and EV schemes, this is a role where you’ll not only build your career but feel part of something bigger.

If you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same and where you’ll be genuinely valued for the difference you make, we’d love to hear from you.
