Kuehne + Nagel is one of the worlds largest logistics companies and is a certified TEI Top Employer and we're looking to make a new addition to our high performing sales team in Belfast. We're looking to bring in a tenacious, driven and resilient Sales Account Manager. This is a tremendous opportunity with genuine development opportunities for someone who is looking for a career, rather than a job. You don't need industry experience, but you will need to be willing to learn, to be able to deliver great results, and to always be striving to hit that next milestone.
Your Role You'll receive 2 months of excellent training to provide you with a solid foundation to your career at Kuehne + Nagel, then when you're ready to go you’ll be responsible for building a client base from scratch, winning new business using excellent product knowledge and sales acumen, but most importantly, by displaying an unmatched level of drive and tenacity. You’ll also be responsible for managing the accounts you win. That means building and maintaining relationships with your customers, providing a tailored service, and growing your accounts to achieve maximum profitability to help you hit (and smash) your targets. This role will require you to be based at our office in Belfast, reporting to the Assistant Sales Manager and working alongside the existing team of Account Managers, as well a team of Customer Service Specialists, where we provide a dynamic environment where colleagues are able to bounce ideas off each other, as well as take part in a bit of friendly competition too!
