About The Role
Ranson Barnes Recruitment Ltd is delighted to be partnering with a well-established and successful business in North Nottingham to recruit a Head of Account Management. This is a key leadership position with responsibility for an established customer-facing team alongside the management and development of a portfolio of strategic accounts.
