Are you ambitious, proactive, and ready to kickstart a career in account management?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing national business in a role that mixes client relationship management, problem solving, and on-the-ground project support.

We’re looking for a confident communicator with a desire to learn, a strong sense of initiative, and the flexibility to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. If you are a graduate with a year's relevant placement experience, or if you are seeking your second role after graduating with experience gained in sales, account management or national accounts this is a great next step role.

What’s in it for you

Clear progression path – the chance to grow into a Key Account Manager role (promotion from within).

Close mentorship – work directly with the National Key Account Manager and gain exposure to senior stakeholders.

Exciting, varied projects – from site surveys and problem-solving to client meetings and relationship building.

The role

• Supporting the National Key Account Manager to manage a portfolio of major care and education clients (representing thousands of sites).
• Acting as the day-to-day contact for client queries, service issues, and updates.

• Liaising with internal service teams, suppliers, and customers to keep projects on track.
• Gathering and analysing data, producing reports, and identifying opportunities for growth.
• Attending regular review meetings with clients and occasionally stepping in to represent the team.
• Being flexible to travel nationally (including overnight stays when needed).

The person

• Degree (or equivalent experience) – business, marketing, or technical fields a bonus.
• Placement year or work experience in service, equipment, or FMCG industry is advantageous.
• Experience in customer-facing roles, project coordination, or field-based service is desirable but not essential.
• Previous experience in account management, national accounts or sales.
• A strong communicator – comfortable speaking with everyone from kitchen staff to CEOs.
• Adaptable & proactive – able to handle shifting priorities and unexpected challenges.
• Commercially curious – interested in how businesses grow and keen to spot opportunities.
• Resilient & professional – able to handle demanding situations with empathy and assertiveness.
• Organised & data-friendly – confident with Excel and reporting (or keen to learn).
• Mobile & flexible – happy with frequent travel and occasional overnight stays.
