CITIZEN – BETTER STARTS NOW

“WATCH BRAND OF THE YEAR” - UK JEWELLLERY AWARDS 2015

 

AREA ACCOUNT CO-ORDINATOR

NORTHERN HOME COUNTIES AND EAST ANGLIA

Industry leading package

Excellent basic salary + quarterly performance bonus

+ quality Company Car + World Class employee benefits + cutting edge IT support

Since its inception in 1930, CITIZEN has held a deep respect for craftsmanship; and as a world leading watch manufacturer it revels in the challenge of pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation.

One such breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch ahead of all others, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. This extraordinary innovation has changed forever the way watches can be powered, eliminating the need to replace batteries. Today, across the globe, individuals are able to revel in the unrestricted joy of wearing a CITIZEN Watch.

The future continues in the same exciting vein, with all new merchandise reflecting the brand’s development philosophy of the fusion of technology and beauty; underscored by the belief in constant improvement.

Here in the UK this philosophy has been recognised many times, with the wholly-owned British subsidiary winning accolades at the UK Jewellery Awards – most recently pronounced WATCH BRAND OF THE YEAR.

As a result of an internal promotion, my client is now seeking a training and visual merchandising guru to rise to this field-based brand support challenge, making regular visits to a variety of bricks and mortar retail outlets.  These proven stockists are all part of nationally significant Multiple Retail Jewellers and Department Store greats, and your professional support will help them to accelerate their sell-through ever further.

Providing training in the CITIZEN brand and product strengths to all the retail staff within your area will be key, as a strong understanding on the part of those with ultimate responsibility for sales is crucial to the success of the brand. The company’s brand strengths are constantly communicated through significant trade advertising, in addition to which you will have access to the latest technological audio-visual presentation methods to relay these marketing messages and plans to your retailers’ sales associates.

Your fluency in making PowerPoint presentations, and spirited verbal communication skills will enable you to deliver sparkling store training whether one-to-one or to an entire team.

Exemplary window displays, from layouts and ticketing to basic housekeeping, are of the utmost importance to the brand, and you will be the go-to advisor for both monitoring and finessing the brand look in-store. Each account visit – be it to an established or newly- authorised stockist - will require accurate customer records to be kept, and you will be provided with an iPad and specialised App enabling you to update photographs as evidence of the maintenance and improvement of these displays.

Our client’s marketing team is keen to be kept informed of everything going on within the industry, and you will be the eyes and ears of the brand in every prestigious shopping destination within your designated region.

You may also be required from time to time to broaden your impact by calling on prospective stockists who have not as yet committed to the brand, using the market expertise you have garnered to provide information and help to establish and build a long term company relationship.

To succeed in this role, a track record in the world of Retail Watches and Jewellery will be advantageous; however, a background in a high-tech, luxury, or fashion brand setting may be equally relevant. You may have a strong retail pedigree or you may already have field merchandising experience; either way you will now wish to commit to a market and/or brand that you can see yourself becoming passionate about.

Your previous career will demonstrate loyalty as well as measured progression, and your drive and career ambition will be such that you never have been daunted by taking on additional responsibility.

If you share the philosophy that BETTER STARTS NOW, and would like to join the CITIZEN mission, please forward your CV at the earliest opportunity to the team at JML.
