Founded in 1920 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, Huhtamaki is a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, operating across more than 30 countries.

Huhtamaki Foodservice is one of Australia's leading foodservice packaging suppliers, with operations across Australia and a broad customer base including metropolitan and regional distributors, food wholesalers, hospitality suppliers and major national customers.

Our South Australian business continues to grow, and we are looking for an experienced and commercially driven Key Account Manager to join our team.

About the Role

As Account Manager – South Australia, you will be responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of key customers while actively developing new business opportunities across the SA market.

A major focus of the role will be building strong partnerships with distributors, wholesalers and strategic customers, understanding their businesses and identifying opportunities to grow together.

Reporting directly to the State Manager, you'll have genuine ownership of your customer portfolio and play an important role in the continued growth of our South Australian business.

What You'll Be Doing

Manage, retain and grow a portfolio of key accounts

Develop strong relationships with distributors, wholesalers and strategic customers

Identify and win new business opportunities

Increase Huhtamaki's share of business within existing customers

Prepare proposals, quotations and commercially competitive solutions

Conduct regular customer reviews and identify opportunities for growth

Maintain an active sales pipeline and provide accurate forecasting

Work closely with Customer Service, Operations and the broader Huhtamaki team to deliver an outstanding customer experience

About You





We're looking for someone who combines strong relationship management with a genuine drive to grow business.

You'll ideally have proven experience in Key Account Management, Business Development or B2B Sales, along with strong commercial awareness, communication, and negotiation skills.

You'll be comfortable managing significant customer relationships, identifying opportunities and taking ownership of them from initial conversation through to implementation.

Experience within foodservice, packaging, distribution, wholesale, hospitality supply or a related B2B industry would be highly regarded but isn't essential. For the right commercially minded salesperson, we can teach you packaging.

This is an opportunity to join an established global organisation while being part of a close-knit and growing South Australian team.

You'll have the autonomy to manage and develop your customer portfolio, access to an extensive foodservice packaging range and the support of experienced local and national teams.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the growth of our South Australian business and build a long-term career within a global organisation.

People are integral to everything we do. At Huhtamaki, our values of Care, Dare and Deliver guide how we work with our customers and each other.

We are an equal chance employer committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from all people regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, or religion. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

If you're commercially driven, enjoy building strong customer partnerships and have the energy to find and convert new opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
