Job description

Account Executive (Hull) - join a fast-growing, award-winning brand

Are you a confident, relationship-driven sales professional who enjoys turning conversations into long-term partnerships? If you're motivated by hitting targets, building rapport, and presenting great products with genuine pride, we'd love to hear from you.

At Vuba, we're proud to be based in Hull and we're moving quickly. We're looking for an Account Executive to own and grow customer relationships, spot opportunities, and help customers succeed with our range - backed by a brand with real momentum.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll be at the heart of our customer journey - connecting with decision-makers, understanding needs, and ensuring we deliver the right solutions at the right time. Your impact will be felt in both new business opportunities and the strength of our existing accounts.

• Own the full sales cycle - from initial discovery and qualification through to proposals, negotiation, and close.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with customers and key stakeholders, ensuring long-term retention and growth.
• Grow accounts by identifying cross-sell and upsell opportunities and following up consistently.
• Manage pipeline effectively - keep accurate records, forecast accurately, and drive activity to meet targets.
• Collaborate across the business (including marketing, operations, and customer service) to deliver a smooth customer experience.
• Present and demonstrate value - communicate product benefits clearly and confidently, tailored to the customer's goals.
• Represent the brand - be professional, proactive, and ambassadorial in every customer interaction.

What we're looking for

This is a role for someone who enjoys sales, but also values the human side of it: listening, understanding, and helping customers make confident decisions. You don't need to "hard sell" to be successful—you just need to be sharp, organised, and resilient.

• Proven experience in a sales or account management role (or transferable B2B sales experience).
• A strong ability to build rapport quickly and influence decision-makers.
• Confidence working to targets with a track record of delivering results.
• Strong communication skills - clear, confident, and personable on calls and in meetings.
• Organisation and attention to detail when managing pipelines, documentation, and follow-ups.
• The drive to learn and improve - using feedback and data to sharpen your approach.

If you've worked in industries such as surfaces, construction, manufacturing, retail, or distribution, that's a bonus—but we're equally interested in the transferable skills that make great salespeople.

Why this role is different

When you're selling well, you're not just chasing numbers - you're helping customers choose solutions that fit their needs. In this position, you'll work with a brand that's widely recognised, trusted internationally, and proud of the quality it delivers.

You'll be supported by a team that values momentum, ideas, and continuous improvement - so you can focus on what you do best: building relationships and growing accounts.

Working from Hull

This is a Hull-based role. If you're local or happy to relocate, you'll be joining a team that thrives on energy and collaboration - right here in the heart of the region.

If you're an Account Executive who's ready to take ownership, build meaningful customer relationships, and contribute to a growing sales engine, we want to meet you.
