Our client is seeking an organised and customer-focused Account Manager to support and manage key commercial marine accounts within a successful and growing business.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about delivering exceptional customer service and building strong client relationships in a fast-paced B2B environment.

The company offers excellent training, long-term career opportunities, and the chance to work within a well-established and highly respected organisation.

  • Supporting the sales team with onboarding new customers
  • Building strong relationships with customers to understand their business needs
  • Managing customer expectations and resolving issues effectively
  • Maintaining accurate account and order records

The Ideal Candidate

The successful candidate will be a strong communicator with excellent organisational skills and a proactive approach to customer management.

Previous B2B account management experience would be advantageous, although candidates from other customer-focused or administrative backgrounds will also be considered.
