This role offers opportunities to develop accounts further by applying additional sales strategies.

You should have experience in identifying and pursuing new business opportunities, maintaining a pipeline of potential clients, and attending industry events and conferences to gather market insights.

Proven experience in a customer account management role within a textiles manufacturing environment is preferred. Alternatively, a strong interest in textiles combined with an account management background is acceptable.

Essential Skills:

• Familiarity with CRM software
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and negotiation abilities
