£28k-£30k + comm (c£5K in year 1)– 25 days holidays
Looking to kick-start a serious career in sales? This is a hands-on, high-impact role working alongside a Senior Account Manager to grow and develop major strategic accounts.
As a Sales Executive, you’ll get deep exposure to how large accounts operate — learning who the decision-makers are, where the opportunities sit, and how to turn insight into revenue. You’ll play a key role in identifying new opportunities, booking high-quality meetings, and helping unlock growth across existing customers.
Our client is looking for someone curious, driven, and proactive — someone who doesn’t wait to be told, but enjoys digging into accounts, spotting potential, and building relationships. If you’re ambitious and want a clear pathway into roles like Junior Account Manager or Business Development Manager, this is the perfect foundation.

* Analyse and map major accounts to understand structures, stakeholders, and growth opportunities
* Book high-quality meetings with new contacts, departments, and decision-makers
* Identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities across services and solutions
* Engage customers confidently over the phone and via professional email communication
* Support the Senior Account Manager with account insights, meeting prep, follow-ups, and opportunity development
* Consistently hit sales activity KPIs
* Deliver excellent customer service at every touchpoint
* Produce accurate quotes using approved pricing and discount models
* Keep CRM data, reports, and documentation accurate and up to date
* Manage your workload effectively to maximise impact across key accounts
* Actively engage in training and development to accelerate your progression
What We’re Looking For
* A proactive, self-motivated mindset with strong attention to detail
* Confidence communicating with stakeholders at all levels
* Curiosity and commercial awareness — you enjoy understanding how businesses work
* Strong organisation and time management skills
* A genuine desire to build a long-term career in sales
