Our mission? To switch up the status quo and become the UK’s leading out-of-home business. With a fast-growing network of thousands of smart lockers, hundreds of leading retail partners and the launch of our transformative Send service, we’re bringing freedom to anyone with a parcel.

At InPost UK, we’re building an unparalleled group of talent that’s committed to help us power our mission to reshape the way parcels move, and redefine eCommerce logistics. Our team is packed full of top-notch experts in e-commerce, technology, scale‑up growth, sustainability, logistics and supply chain. We’re a passionate bunch with high ambition – we collaborate, innovate, support each other, and leave egos at the door.

About the role:

We are looking for an Account Manager to join our team and take on a pivotal role in managing and retaining landlord partnerships with some of our biggest sites.

You’d be part of a team that thrives on collaboration, creativity, and making a meaningful impact and is an exciting time to join InPost’s Networks team as the business is rapidly growing.

• Collaborate with our operations team to ensure that the installation of new lockers runs smoothly to time and forecast.
• Provide regular reports and updates on partnership performance and growth to partners and senior leadership.

What we need from you:

We’re looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. We’re looking for people with drive and natural curiosity – who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.

• Experience in account management or partnership development.
• Proven track record of effectively managing and growing partner relationships with major landlords or accounts.
• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills.
• Strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities with a strong attention to detail.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and results-oriented.
• Enjoys working in a fast paced environment and comfortable with ambiguity.
