We are seeking an exceptional Client Account Manager to join our Consultancy Team. This role is ideal for someone passionate about sustainable food systems, with hands-on understanding of retail and food supply chains, and a grounding in animal agriculture or livestock sectors.

You will be the trusted partner to a portfolio of clients—helping them understand their challenges, identify opportunities, and deliver evidence-led solutions that drive sustainability outcomes across farmed animal supply chains.

This is a client-facing, delivery-focused role, working closely with cross-functional colleagues including strategists, scientists, analysts, and supply chain experts.

If you thrive at the intersection of technical knowledge, project management, consultancy, and relationship-building, we would love to hear from you.

• Work with FAI’s international team (strategists, scientists, data analysts, software developers, and supply chain experts) to deliver impactful programmes.
• Manage the planning, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of key client accounts and sustainability programmes.
• Coordinate budgets, work plans, timelines, and client communications to ensure high-quality delivery.
• Build strong, trusted relationships with client teams to understand their needs and deliver tangible value.

• Provide consultancy support, including preparing technical reports, position statements, and delivering presentations.
• Contribute expertise on retail supply chains, livestock production systems, and animal agriculture challenges.
• Support the development and refinement of FAI’s data systems and digital tools (e.g., Insite) through user feedback and programme insights.

• Identify opportunities to expand existing client programmes or develop new solutions.
• Contribute to proposal development, strategic pitches, and scoping conversations alongside the Sales and Consultancy teams.

• Proven experience working within retail, food supply chains, or terrestrial livestock/agriculture sectors.
• Strong project management skills: planning, delivery, budgeting, and evaluation.
• Experience in client-facing roles with a track record of building and nurturing strong relationships.
• Ability to deliver high-quality outputs in fast-paced environments with competing deadlines.
• Excellent verbal & written communication skills.
• Strong digital competency (e.g., Microsoft Office, project management tools, data handling).

• Degree (or equivalent industry experience) in Agriculture, Sustainability, Food Systems, Animal Science, or related fields.
• Knowledge of sustainability issues within food and farming systems—including welfare, environmental performance, and regenerative agriculture.
• Experience identifying new business opportunities or contributing to consultancy proposals.

• Highly organised, self-motivated, and able to work autonomously.
• A proactive problem-solver with a “can-do” attitude.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Adaptable and comfortable working with international colleagues in a remote environment.
• Collaborative, positive, and aligned with FAI’s mission to drive positive food system change.
