As our Key Account Manager, you are the main point of contact for our major national customers. You make sure they get the most from our products, and you grow our business with them by embedding yourself in each account. As our distribution model develops, your role will evolve to include managing distribution partners.

• Working with colleagues: Work alongside the regional sales team and share customer insight with colleagues in the UK and Germany

• A proven sales or account management record, including large accounts and negotiated agreements, with targets met or exceeded

• A strong technical understanding that lets you explain the value of our products with confidence

• Commercial awareness: you are comfortable discussing margin, cost of goods sold and P&L

• Accurate, disciplined forecasting

• Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills, including the confidence to train customer teams

• Willingness to travel across the UK, and occasionally abroad, for example for onboarding in Germany

• Flexibility around working hours when customers and the business need it

• The drive and self-discipline to work fully remotely

• Fluent written and spoken English, and the right to work in the UK
