Are you a commercially minded sales professional who thrives on building relationships, influencing stakeholders, and delivering tangible business growth?

We're partnering exclusively with a market-leading financial services organisation to recruit a Sales Account Manager for their expanding sales team in Manchester.

This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected and established blue-chip businesses, operating at the forefront of its sector.

The Opportunity

As a Sales Account Manager, you'll be responsible for managing, retaining, and developing a portfolio of business partners while identifying and converting new opportunities across your territory.

This is a relationship-led, insight-driven sales role where you'll work closely with customers to understand their business objectives, identify growth opportunities, and provide commercially valuable solutions that help them achieve sustainable success.

You'll become a trusted advisor, building long-term partnerships through meaningful conversations, market insight, and exceptional customer engagement.
