We’re looking for a new Supplier Account Executive – could it be you or someone you know?
We’re sad to say that our current Supplier Account Executive, Tom Williams, is leaving The Great British Exchange to try his hand in a different industry. He’ll be greatly missed by the team and the Producers he’s built strong relationships with but it creates an opportunity for somebody else to step into the role and make their mark in The GBX’s journey.
Job Summary
The Supplier Account Manager role is an exciting, multifunctional position and requires the successful candidate to work on account management and the commercial content on our online marketplace.
The position is a traditional account management role and the candidate will be required to account manage our producers (brands) to support them with any queries, communicate updates and product opportunities to them and feed back storefront reviews to them.
The candidate’s other focus will also be reviewing our producers’ (brands’) online storefronts from a commercial perspective and engaging them to complete identified improvements which, in turn, will aid in an increase in sales orders in line with a monthly target.
Alongside this, the candidate will liaise between our internal sales team and producers to deal with order management and non-compliance issues.
Over the course of the next 12 months the role will diversify as the business grows and the processes and systems become more automated.
