The Job:

We are looking for a dynamic Junior Account Manager to join us and support our commercial team.

We are looking for an effective communicator with drive and a determination to exceed sales targets.

Place of Work:

Office based (London)

Your main duties will be:

• Work closely with the Sales Director to maintain and grow an existing portfolio of assigned customers and partners
• Develop and execute an effective sales strategy to open new accounts and establish new partnerships with agents and distributors
• Organise and lead customer meetings where required
• Achieve the yearly sales targets agreed with senior management

• Perform all Sales Administration tasks related to assigned accounts
• Support the commercial team in all activities including preparing presentations, preparing product samples and production of sales support materials

Key Skills/Experience required by the jobholder:

The ability to identify and target brand-appropriate retailers is important, as is keeping regular contact with your existing customers to maintain the business relationship.

You will need to develop brand ambassadorial skills, to enable you to constantly promote and grow sales with existing customers, and you will possess a voracious appetite for opening new accounts wherever appropriate.

Excellent negotiation skills will form part of your skill set, enabling you to secure the best in-store positions for our products. Merchandising according to brand plans and guidelines will become second nature as will training and empowering others to sell Estella Bartlett products.

We are looking for someone with strong administration skills, good working knowledge of MS Office software and who has excellent communication skills and attention to detail. You will have strong numerical skills and be confident adapting and prioritizing your workload to meet any time restraints.

You will be based in the London head office and will occasionally attend trade shows and meetings abroad.

Developing potential and promoting from within has always been Estella Bartlett’s modus operandi and we are looking for an individual to grow with the business.
