Are you a proactive salesperson who loves building relationships and spotting opportunities?
We're looking for an enthusiastic and commercially minded Internal Sales & Account Manager to join a growing and successful business based in Sittingbourne.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied role, combining account management, sales, customer relationships, and business development.

You'll enjoy speaking with customers, building rapport, understanding their requirements, and helping them find the right solutions whilst contributing to the overall growth of the business.
