Job description

Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a market-leading fashion business as a Marketing Account Executive. This is a highly collaborative, relationship-led role at the heart of marketing, sales, and retail partnerships. You will act as the key liaison between central marketing, regional sales and fit teams, and a wide network of B2B retail partners across the UK and Ireland. The focus of this role is building strong relationships, supporting retail partners, and activating marketing plans that drive sell‑out, making it an ideal move for agency marketers looking to gain client‑side experience.

Responsibilities

You will work closely with national accounts, independent retailers, and ecommerce partners, coordinating marketing requests, campaign rollouts, and asset delivery to ensure every partner receives tailored support. In addition, you will adapt global marketing campaigns and seasonal assets for the local market, ensuring consistent and accurate brand representation across stores, websites, and marketing channels. The role also includes supporting seasonal product launches and go‑to‑market plans, as well as presenting ranges and commercial plans in person to distributors and retailers twice per year. You'll also help gather market insights, monitor competitor activity, track campaign performance, and contribute insights that support commercial decisions.

Qualifications

This position is perfect for someone coming from an agency background who is confident, personable, and commercially aware, and who wants to move client‑side to work more closely with brands and retail partners. You should enjoy speaking to customers, presenting plans, and becoming a trusted partner to retail teams. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects are essential. Previous experience in B2B marketing, retail marketing, or working with national accounts is beneficial, and knowledge of fashion or lingerie is advantageous, but the right personality and proactive approach are key.

Location & Travel

You must be able to drive due to the location and travel requirements, and hybrid working is available after probation, with approximately 50% of your time working from home. This role would particularly suit applicants based in or near Leicester, Northampton, Coventry, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, Kettering, St Neots, Wellingborough, Huntingdon, or Peterborough.

Additional Information

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about products, confident in their presentation and style, and motivated by building strong relationships with retail partners in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment. If you thrive on connecting with people and influencing results, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
