We’re partnering with an established international organisation that is looking for a Distributor Account Manager to manage and support a portfolio of existing distributor relationships across Europe.
This isn’t a new business development position. The focus is on strengthening established partnerships, understanding performance across different territories and helping distributors identify opportunities to improve sales and profitability.
Combining account management, commercial analysis and sales planning, this is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building long-term relationships while using data to guide commercial decisions.
The Role
You’ll act as the main point of contact for a portfolio of European distributors, developing a detailed understanding of their individual markets, priorities and commercial performance.
Working closely with distributor partners and internal teams, you’ll review results, agree account plans and ensure each territory has the appropriate commercial support. Regular European travel will allow you to strengthen relationships and gain first-hand insight into the markets you manage.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Managing and developing relationships with existing distributor partners across Europe.
- Reviewing sales, profitability, market share and wider account performance.
- Producing reports and commercial insights to identify risks and opportunities.
- Working with distributors to develop and implement territory-specific account plans.
- Monitoring budgets and performance against agreed commercial objectives.
- Supporting pricing and product positioning decisions across different markets.
- Influencing distributor activity and constructively challenging performance where required.
- Coordinating with internal departments to resolve operational, product and customer-related matters.
