Account Manager | Wakefield (Hybrid) Positive Culture | Exciting Projects | Variety of Benefits We are looking for an Account Manager on behalf of our client, a well-established signage business delivering for highly regarded, recognisable brands. This is not a role where you simply manage client queries or oversee activity. It is a position of ownership, where you are trusted to lead relationships, influence outcomes and take responsibility for how accounts perform. If you are currently in a role where you are close to the client but not truly leading the relationship, decisions sit elsewhere, or you are expected to deliver without the clarity or control to do so properly, this is an opportunity to step into something more. In this role you will set the tone, bringing structure, direction and confidence to both clients and internal teams. Working with well‑known brands, your ability to lead conversations, manage expectations and make informed decisions will directly impact client retention, growth and overall business performance.
Key responsibilities include:
* Taking full ownership of key client accounts, acting as the strategic lead
* Leading client relationships, building trust and long‑term partnerships
* Overseeing project delivery through Project Managers, ensuring consistency and quality
* Setting direction and priorities across accounts, aligning internal teams
* Managing performance, identifying risks and driving proactive solutions
* Leading client conversations around expectations, changes and opportunities
* Supporting forecasting, planning and commercial performance across accounts
* Identifying growth opportunities and driving account development
To be successful in this role, you will:
* Have experience managing client accounts within signage, construction, fit‑out or a similar environment
* Be confident taking ownership and leading both clients and internal teams
* Have strong commercial awareness and understand account performance
* Be a clear and confident communicator, able to influence and guide decisions
* Stay calm under pressure and take responsibility for outcomes
* Be proactive, solutions‑focused and driven to improve how things are done
What's in it for you:
* Salary £42,000 – £50,000 depending on experience
* Hybrid working, offering flexibility alongside a collaborative environment
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Birthday off
* Additional benefits and a positive, forward‑thinking working environment
This is a role for someone who wants to step into true account leadership, to have a voice in how things are done, and to be part of a business where strong relationships and high standards drive long‑term success.
