Take your sales career to the next level in international manufacturing

Escape Recruitment's Commercial Division is partnering with a leading international manufacturer to recruit a Sales Account Manager. This newly created role offers a fantastic opportunity for someone with account management or B2B sales experience within FMCG or manufacturing, who is ready to take ownership of strategic client accounts and drive growth.

The Role

This is a dynamic position focused roughly 70% on account management and 30% on new business development. You'll manage and grow your existing client portfolio while identifying and securing new opportunities. Acting as the main point of contact, you'll coordinate with internal and international teams to deliver tailored, solution-led proposals and ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction.

• Identify client needs and translate them into commercial, value-driven proposals
• Manage the full sales cycle from opportunity identification through to delivery
• Lead account review meetings
• Manage all pricing, quotations, and negotiate contract renewals
• Achieve and exceed sales volume and margin targets
• Collaborate with production, design, and commercial teams to support new product launches and customer projects
• Monitor order status to maintain service quality and mitigate risks
• Produce internal reports including market trends and competitor activity to inform sales strategy

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)
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel across the UK and occasionally overseas

If you're ready to take ownership of key accounts, deliver impactful results, and join a respected, forward-thinking organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
