Do you want to be a National Account Manager in the next 1-2 years?
Then keep reading, because this is your chance to step into a role where career progression isn’t vague… it’s planned!
Let’s set the scene..
You’ll take ownership of a high-potential territory covering the entire Southern UK region, including the South East, South West and London.
But this isn’t “just” a regional sales role…
You’ll work directly under Tony, the newly appointed UK Sales Director, who is building the sales function in the UK and developing a team of who will take the business to its next stage of growth.
And he wants you to progress into a National Account Manager position within the next 1-2 years.
This is a rare moment to join a global business at the exact point the UK unit is scaling fast.
Meaning: your career grows as the UK division grows.
So if you’re ambitious and want genuine long-term development, not empty promises… read on!
—--------------------------------------------------
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll manage and grow a portfolio of around 70 distributors and buying-group members across the Southern region.
The role is a balanced split: 60% account management / 40% new business, giving you plenty of opportunity to deepen existing relationships while also bringing new distributors into the fold.
Your area consists of the full Southern territory including the South East and South West counties, as well as a bit of London.
And the key point:
This role is designed to evolve into a National Account Manager position as the UK sales team expands under Tony’s leadership.
Next year, he wants to start developing their National Account capabilities and resources.
So this is very much a planned progression path, not a “maybe in a few years” conversation.
