Looking to kick-start a career in Account Management?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing business where you'll work closely with an experienced sales team, build relationships with customers and learn every aspect of the commercial side of the business.

Rather than being thrown straight into an Account Manager role, you'll receive hands-on training and gradually take ownership of customer accounts as you develop. If you're someone who enjoys speaking with people, building relationships and wants a long-term career in sales or account management, this could be the perfect next step.

No previous sales or account management experience is required. We're looking for someone with excellent people skills, commercial awareness and the ambition to learn.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting the Account Managers with a varied range of commercial activities.

• Building relationships with existing customers and becoming a trusted point of contact.

• Coordinating customer samples and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

• Maintaining and updating the CRM system.

• Assisting with customer enquiries and providing a high level of service.

• Working closely with internal teams including Marketing, Product Development and Finance.

• Supporting customer meetings and, over time, taking ownership of smaller customer accounts.

• Attending occasional trade shows and customer events.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience in a customer-facing role such as hospitality, retail or customer service.

• Is personable, confident and enjoys building relationships.

• Has strong communication skills and can build rapport with a wide range of people.

• Is commercially curious and eager to develop a career within Account Management.

• Is organised, proactive and enjoys working in a fast-paced environment.

• Is confident using technology and keen to embrace new ways of working, including AI.

• Holds a full UK driving licence and has access to a car.

Why apply?

• Hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 from home)

• Early finish every Friday

• Clear progression into an Account Manager position

• Work alongside experienced commercial professionals who will mentor and develop you

• Varied role with genuine career progression rather than being pigeonholed into administration

• Join a growing business where you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact
