Are you a commercially driven relationship-builder looking to take the next step in your career?

This long-established horticultural supplier is entering an exciting new phase of growth and looking to expand its sales team with two new Account Managers. With strategic expansion plans, this is a brilliant opportunity to step into a stable, high-impact role.

Based full-time at their North Yorkshire office, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of B2B clients - with the potential to manage over £1.5-£2 million in sales revenue.

The Role

Working alongside a dynamic, friendly sales team, you'll manage and grow a defined client portfolio made up of landscape contractors and SMEs. With support from experienced estimating and operational colleagues, you'll be the key contact for project-specific plant supply - balancing service, delivery, and commercial success.

This is a structured, office-based role with the chance to take ownership of your accounts while contributing to the overall evolution of the sales function.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Manage and nurture a portfolio of B2B clients (circa 100 accounts)

  • Build strong, long-term client relationships to drive loyalty and repeat business

  • Collaborate with estimating and support teams to deliver accurate, timely quotes

  • Ensure profitability and growth through proactive planning and margin awareness

  • Embrace new sales systems and AI-enabled quoting tools (in development)

  • Report to the Sales Director, with scope to grow into a Sales Manager role

  • Help raise standards and professionalism across the department

About You

You're a strong communicator with a passion for delivering value to customers and growing commercial accounts. You thrive in a structured, team-oriented environment and want to make a long-term impact.

You'll have:

  • B2B sales and account management experience

  • Excellent client-facing and relationship-building skills

  • A professional and dependable approach

  • Confidence working full-time from a central office location

  • Great organisational and communication skills

Even better if you have:

  • Experience in horticulture, landscaping, agriculture, or similar seasonal sectors

  • Exposure to sales portfolios worth £1 million+

  • Experience managing both major and SME clients
