Looking to kick-start a career in Account Management?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing business where you'll work closely with an experienced sales team, build relationships with customers, and learn every aspect of the commercial side of the business. Rather than being thrown straight into an Account Manager role, you'll receive hands-on training and gradually take ownership of customer accounts as you develop. If you're someone who enjoys speaking with people, building relationships, and wants a long-term career in sales or account management, this could be the perfect next step.
No previous sales or account management experience is required. We're looking for someone with excellent people skills, commercial awareness, and the ambition to learn.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
