The opportunity

We’re a highly successful, rapidly growing publishing and graphic design business delivering real results for local businesses. As an outcome of the continued success of our community magazines and growing portfolio of websites, we’re looking for an exceptional Account Manager to help us grow further. This is your chance to become the driving force behind an established local brand, and you’ll be stepping into a role with genuine responsibility, real autonomy, and the satisfaction of seeing businesses flourish through your work.

Who we’re looking for

We need someone brilliant with people; someone who lights up when talking about business growth and gets genuine satisfaction from helping others succeed. You are a natural relationship-builder who can walk into a room and make connections that last. Maybe you’re looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, rather than being just another number in a large organisation. You understand what makes businesses tick, and you are excited about championing products that genuinely deliver results. Most importantly, you believe in face-to-face relationships, quality service, and the power of local independent businesses.

What you’ll be doing

Building and growing relationships

• Acquire new business clients who will benefit from our proven marketing and design services.
• Nurture and grow an existing portfolio of satisfied clients.
• Build genuine rapport and maintain relationships.
• Identify growth opportunities and help clients maximise their investment.

Managing the client journey

• Use our CRM systems to track opportunities, manage and develop relationships.
• Respond promptly to inbound leads and quotation requests.
• Oversee customer orders from initial conversation through to delivery.
• Collaborate with the team to ensure exceptional client service.

Championing the business

• Represent us at face-to-face meetings and networking events.
• Be an ambassador for our brand and our client’s success stories.
• Develop new business relationships across the local area.
• Take ownership of day-to-day client management.

What you will bring

• Genuine passion for businesses and helping them grow.
• Exceptional communication skills - you can talk to anyone.
• Confidence and professionalism in all business interactions.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to juggle priorities.
• IT proficiency (MS Office, CRM systems – full training provided).
• Reliability, punctuality, and willingness to learn.
• Full driving licence and own car.

Ideal but not essential:

• Previous sales, business development, or account management experience, but we focus on attitude before experience.
• Background in advertising, media, or publishing.
• Existing local business network.

Ready to make your mark? If you are excited by the prospect of being a key player in a growing local business, working with real autonomy, and helping other businesses succeed, we would love to hear from you.
