Job description

The Role & Key Responsibilities

Job Title: Sales Account Manager

Location: Hybrid, UK

Contract type and shift: Permanent, Monday-Friday, 37.5 hours per week. This role includes occasional late finishes and weekend on-call cover on a rota (approximately every 6-8 weeks), with overtime paid for all on-call duties.

This role is mostly home based, however you’ll be expected to travel more frequently to our Sherburn or Peterborough sites during your training period, with visits reducing to around once per month once you’re fully trained.

Build Your Own Customer Base. Reconnect Relationships. Grow Sales.

At KW Feeds, part of AB Agri, we’re looking for a motivated sales professional to join our team focussing on re‑engaging lapsed customers and growing sales across our full product range.

The Role:

You’ll work through warm prospect lists (customers who haven’t purchased in the last 6 months), initiating contact, following up consistently, and converting opportunities through persistence and strong relationship‑building.

• Reconnect with lapsed customers and rebuild buying activity
• Sell across a wide range of feed products (moist, straights, blends, performance products and liquids)
• Deliver targeted sales campaigns with clear product messaging
• Provide accurate quotes with solid commercial awareness
• Collaborate with internal teams and pass opportunities to field specialists where needed
• Build and grow your own long‑term customer ledger

About You:

• Established background working in sales or business development
• Professional and self-motivated - you thrive on prospecting and follow-up
• Effective communicator with the ability to build trust over time
• Commercially aware and detail-focused
• Agriculture knowledge

What’s most important is your motivation, grit, and commitment to keep working - even when conversions take time.

The Team:

You’ll be part of a small, supportive team that works closely together, shares leads, and values strong working relationships. The group is committed to working together and values a collaborative, positive approach.
