We are looking for an Account Manager to focus on developing and growing existing client accounts (particularly our B and C customers), while also identifying and pursuing new business opportunities.

Person Specification

Essential:

Proven experience in sales, account management, or business development.

Ability to work independently, manage workload, and follow through on opportunities.

Structured and organised approach with attention to detail.

Comfortable using CRM/ERP systems and databases.

Desirable:

Experience in engineering, manufacturing, or technical sectors (not essential full product training provided).

Track record of growing accounts and delivering measurable revenue growth.

Local market knowledge and existing contacts within relevant industries.

Base salary of £28,000 - £30,000/annum (with performance-based review after 3 months).
