Sales Development Account Manager

Job Details

About The Role

This is a new business–led sales role, particularly in the first 6–12 months.

You will be responsible for building your own client base from scratch by identifying organisations that want to hire promotional space and converting them through proactive outbound sales.

Over time, if you build your client base well, the role naturally evolves. You’ll spend more time managing and growing your accounts, nurturing long-term relationships, solving problems for clients, and helping them build their brand by matching them to the right commercial spaces.

This role suits someone who enjoys both winning new business and developing relationships, and who is motivated by building something sustainable rather than inheriting an existing portfolio.
What You’ll Be Doing:

Building Your Client Base (New Business Focus)
• Proactively sourcing and contacting potential clients via phone, email and LinkedIn
• Identifying organisations suited to promotional space (e.g. charities, home improvement companies, utilities, automotive, FMCG, local and national brands)
• Managing the full sales cycle from prospecting through to booking
• Building and maintaining a structured and accurate sales pipeline using CRM

Onsite gym.
cycle-to-work scheme.
Private Health Insurance Cover (after 1 years’ service).
A variety of different social events throughout the year.

An important part of our culture is how we can support our local and wider community. We realise that we are privileged, and over the past 28 years we have helped and supported local and regional causes, from 10k and marathon runs through to competitive dragon boat racing and holding and hosting charity nights in our building. Its safe to say we like our fun, and if we can combine this with our charity work, then all the better.

We have sent teams dog sledding to the Arctic Circle, built amenities for disadvantaged kids in Vietnam, and sailed the long route across to France—all helping to grow and consolidate the team spirit that is so important in our environment.
