About You

You are a commercially minded, results-driven professional with a talent for building long-term client relationships. You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and have the ability to translate technical or operational detail into clear customer value.

You'll bring:

Proven sales or account management experience (FMCG, manufacturing, or B2B preferred)
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
A record of meeting or exceeding targets
Ability to work collaboratively across internal and international teams
Confident IT skills (MS Office and CRM systems)
