• Overseeing a portfolio of 300 B2B clients
• Conducting regular business reviews to grow each relationship
• Working to growth/retention targets
• Offering a very consultative/bespoke solution to each client

In order to be considered for this position, it is ESSENTIAL that you have the following:

• University degree (or equivalent)
• Experience of working in some form of sales/targeted environment
• Fun, sociable personality

In addition to a very competitive starting basic salary of £32,500 (which will increase once progressed into the Account Management role), our client are also offering the following:

• Additional £5,000 in bonuses in Year One, and £15,000 - £20,000 in Year Two (absolutely uncapped)
• Hybrid working (4 days a week in the office / 1 day a week working from home)
