Key Account Manager – Homewares

Excellent salary and package

North West Based

Our client is a premium manufacturer of homeware products and is part of a major international group. Operating at the mid to upper end of the market, their customers include all of the UK’s leading department store groups and high street retailers. This is a business that offers a fantastic working culture and will provide you with the opportunity to work in a business that is both innovative and entrepreneurial. Our client enjoyed 40% growth last year and anticipates growth of above 20% in 2017. As a result they are now looking to recruit an additional Key Account Manager to add further depth to their sales team.

This is an exciting position where you will take responsibility for a number of our client’s key accounts. Customers will include larger members of the AIS buying group, meaning you will handle multiple retailers.  In addition, through success in this role you will quickly progress onto working with some of our client’s largest customers such as major department store groups. You will have P&L accountability for your customers and be expected to work closely with them in order to create bespoke new product ideas. This will then translate into working closely with other internal departments such as design and NPD and playing a lead role in managing the critical path of products. Ultimately your aim is to grow both sales and profitability.

To be considered for this excellent opportunity you will be a high calibre candidate who is ambitious, hardworking and capable of progressing in the future to manage large national accounts. You will ideally be operating at Key Account Manager level currently, although candidates who are working at Area Sales Manager level and are ready for the next step may be considered.  Experience of the homewares or home furnishings product categories isn’t essential. However, you must have experience of a non-food consumer product category and will have worked on bespoke products, playing a key role in liaising with internal colleagues in design and product development.  You will have a good education and be intelligent, entrepreneurial and have excellent communication skills.

Send your CV today for the chance to join an industry leading business that can offer you longer term career progression.
