What you’ll be doing:
- Managing a portfolio of leading Key Accounts, making sure they’re provided with an exceptional service in line with the brand’s values
- Presenting new range and product concepts to buyers, negotiating prices and terms where required
- Working with product development on NPD, providing insight and requirements from your customers to shape new ranges
- Building strong product knowledge so you can answer queries quickly and confidently
- Owning each order from first enquiry through to delivery and invoicing, keeping everyone clear on who’s doing what and by when
- Partnering with Sales Coordinators to keep all admin sharp and on track
- Checking product samples are accurate before they go out the door
- Keeping an eye on the competition to stay ahead of market trends
- Hosting regular meetings to assess sales figures, feedback and future growth opportunities
What you’ll bring:
- Proven B2B Account Management experience with leading retailers, ideally within gifting or lifestyle
- Experience with private label or bespoke product ranges is a real plus
- A natural communicator who builds strong relationships internally and externally
- A genuine customer-first mindset in a B2B environment
- Sharp problem-solving instincts, a fast learner’s mindset, and real attention to detail
- Comfortable managing multiple projects and shifting priorities at once
- Proactive, logical, and a great team player
