Account Manager - Menswear, Womenswear, Childrenswear, Babywear & Homeware
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Account Manager to join a highly successful supplier of menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, babywear and homeware, working with some of the UK's leading high street retailers.
In this customer-facing role, you'll be responsible for managing key retail accounts, building strong, long-term relationships and ensuring products are delivered seamlessly from initial brief through to final delivery. Working closely with customers' buying and design teams, you'll also collaborate internally with the Senior Account Manager, Managing Director and Design team to deliver commercially successful product ranges.
As this position involves regular face-to-face meetings with key customers, the role will primarily be based in the North East of England, with 1-2 days per week spent at the company's Hertfordshire office.
This role would suit someone with previous Account Management experience within a supplier or retail environment, or a retail Buying background looking to move into an account management position.
