Senior Key Account Manager – Footwear/Fashion

Up to £60,000 plus 30% bonus, company car and additional benefits

Home based with UK Travel

With a wide product range making this brand stand out from its competitors it is no wonder they have become a highly successful business both within the UK and across the world. Since launching in 1998 they have grown to become a leader in their footwear category, making some of the finest premium products in the market with a wide range of styles and colours available. As the business has grown so has their collection, with the introduction of luxury apparel. Due to their continued expansion and growing popularity in the UK they are now seeking a Senior Key Account Manager to develop and manage a portfolio of customers for them.

This is a new position within the business, created to open new doors such as Schuh, Sole Trader and Office, and to create a stronger presence on the UK high street. Within the first 12months in the role the successful candidate will target key retailers via a strong strategic approach. Each retailer will require a tailored business plan to support the brand in its first entry into their stores and the Senior Key Account Manager will work alongside the buyer to ensure the brand is well presented and successful. This is a cross functional role which will require the successful candidate to work with the sales and marketing team to create a strong brand image for the brand in a highly competitive high street environment.  Moving forward there is scope in the business for this to become a management role with opportunities not only in the UK but also in Europe.

In order to be considered for this opportunity the successful candidate will currently be working at Key Account or National Account level within the footwear industry. It is essential that you are working with retailers such as those listed above in order to quickly build relationships and gain momentum.  This is a progressive business that, although informal and relaxed in their approach are passionate about the brand and its success. If you want to be considered for this opportunity, please forward your details today.
