You’ll be joining a close-knit, highly supportive team within a large organisation that has significant market presence and a real focus on growth, both in expanding the product range and increasing sales. There’s genuine scope to make an impact, take ownership, and develop your career within a business that invests in its people.

• A results-driven mindset with genuine ambition, accountability, and the drive to identify and act on growth opportunities
• Resilience and adaptability, able to stay positive under pressure, learn quickly, and flex to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Proactive ownership, someone who brings ideas and solutions rather than waiting for direction
• A collaborative, cross-functional mindset and the ability to work effectively with internal teams and external customers alike

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and manage a strategic sales plan for your specified accounts, aligned to overall business strategy and delivering against joint objectives
• Drive annual revenue, volume targets across your account portfolio
