Health Insurance & Life AssuranceAre you looking for a company that can help you develop and progress? This is a pathway to become a Key Account Manager in the next 12 months, as part of a growing engineering business. You will initially be given smaller accounts to manage, working with a team of experienced KAMs to help you develop your account management skills, with a development plan to progress to Key Account Manager. You will then begin to manage larger, more complex accounts with business units worldwide.

They are an SME with an amazing culture: a genuinely happy team that believes in their values and the business's vision. The products are technical, used in life sciences, so you need to be comfortable working with technical products.

A typical day will be varied: researching and mapping out accounts, developing relationships with key stakeholders, putting prices together, working with technical support, and that's just some of the responsibilities! You will also travel occasionally to visit customers and attend trade shows, but no more than 20% of the time initially. The rest of the time, you will be in the office, collaborating across the business, and learning from the experienced people around you.

If you have some experience in sales but want something that you can really get your teeth into, please get in touch!
