Job description

Role Overview

Our Sales Team work hard to build strong relationships with our retailers, ensuring their product selection is the best it can be, and helping them generate sales. This is a temporary role covering the period from January 2026 to the end of February 2026. Fast paced, demanding, but very rewarding, a career with the UK Greetings Sales Team is something to be proud of! This role covers South London, Surrey, Sussex, and East Hampshire. Ideally the successful candidate should live as central as possible to these areas. As a UKG Field Based Account Manager as part of our Independent Sales Division you will be responsible for managing and developing the independent accounts on your territory.

Experience of working in a sales environment is desirable but not essential. We are looking for somebody who is organised, tenacious, personable and self‑motivated. Experience of the greeting cards industry would be an advantage but again is not essential. A full driving licence is a pre‑requisite and you should preferably live on or as close to the territory as possible.
