Key Account Manager

At Ontex, we are making everyday life easier across generations. Worldwide our 5,500 colleagues are taking pride in their work, guided by our values – Passion, Reliability, Integrity, Drive and Everyone. Every day they are developing, producing, and distributing affordable and sustainable baby, woman and adult personal care products.

As a leading international provider of personal hygiene solutions for retailer brands and healthcare partners, founded in Belgium in 1979 and listed on Euronext Brussels, we believe that innovation should be accessible to everyone.

As we continue being 'Here for you’, we’re looking for a Key Account Manager to join our Sales team.

Scope of the Role

This role is designed to own and lead the UK customer relationship, taking full accountability for account performance, delivery, and growth, whilst working alongside the International Key Account Manager (IKAM)

While initially being supported by the IKAM, the expectation is that the KAM will quickly take ownership of the day-to-day management of the UK account, becoming the primary contact for both internal and external stakeholders.

The position requires strong commercial ownership, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to independently drive projects from concept through to execution.

Mission and Key Responsibilities

Take full responsibility for the day-to-day management of the UK account, acting as the primary contact for the customer
Build and maintain strong, independent relationships with key customer stakeholders
Drive the UK account strategy in alignment with broader business objectives alongside the IKAM.
Become the go-to person internally and externally for all UK account-related matters for this Key customer.

Commercial Management

Own delivery of sales, profitability, and growth targets for the UK account
Analyse sales performance, margins, and profitability drivers to identify risks and opportunities
Prepare pricing calculations & proposals to support commercial decision-making with the IKAM.
Manage and control A&P investment to ensure maximum ROI and adherence to agreed budgets

Project & Stakeholder Management

Lead cross-functional coordination with production, supply chain, product management, and logistics teams to ensure seamless execution of projects
Take ownership of project timelines and delivery, ensuring all milestones are met
Drive resolution of issues proactively, balancing customer needs with internal constraints

Customer & Operational Excellence

Lead customer meetings, owning preparation, agenda-setting, and follow-up actions
Create and manage contact reports and action trackers, ensuring timely execution across teams
Complete new product setup for the customer
Work closely with the internal Sales Coordinator to ensure secure supply and stock availability

Market & Category Expertise

Develop strong expertise in Ontex product categories, customers, and the competitive landscape
Proactively gather and utilise market insights to support commercial decisions and customer engagement
Maintain awareness of pricing trends, innovation, and customer requirements

Background and Experience

Education

Bachelor’s degree (Business Economics or Business Administration preferred)
Master’s degree in Sales or Marketing is an advantage

Experience

2–4 years’ experience in FMCG sales/account management
Experience in private label and/or hygienic disposables markets is advantageous

Key Competencies

Commercial Ownership – strong business acumen with the ability to independently drive results
Analytical Skills – highly numerate, strong Excel and data analysis capability
Influencing & Leadership – able to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority
Communication & Relationship Building – confident, credible, and able to build trust quickly
Organised & Structured – able to manage multiple priorities with accuracy and attention to detail
Proactive Mindset – takes initiative and accountability rather than relying on direction
Strategic Thinking – able to connect day-to-day execution with the bigger business picture
Resilience & Diplomacy – able to manage conflicting priorities and stakeholder expectations

Development & Progression

This role offers a clear pathway to becoming a fully autonomous Key Account leader, with increasing responsibility for strategy, customer management, and business delivery within the UK market.
