Senior Account Executive

We have a great opportunity for an experienced Account Executive to join a small but established company and really set your mark on the company.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Account Executive to drive new business in the retail sector. This role will involve identifying and engaging with high street retailers, brands and new online & digital customers. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sales and customer service, with a passion for fashionable barware and kitchenware.

Established in 2012, Uberstar has formed into one of the leading suppliers of barware and gifts to UK retailers. Our products are currently ranged in John Lewis, Oliver Bonas, Blue Diamond Garden Centres and many excellent independent boutiques across the UK. We're now looking to expand the team to this new full-time role.

Primarily, the role will be working with our database of retail trade customers and making sure they are fully satisfied with our service. It will also include finding and sourcing new retail trade customers. Furthermore, as we are only a small team you will get the benefit from experiencing all sides of the business, including organising and working at exhibitions, taking in and unpacking deliveries (all members of the team help) safely into our warehouse. You will also have time to step away from your desk to help pack and despatch orders. At times this can be a physical role, with cartons weighing up to 25kg and having to use ladders. You will also need to pack our fragile items with care, ensuring there are no damages. Occasionally there is rework on our products, that will need to be completed, again, all members of the team contribute to helping.

Around 4-7 times a year we exhibit at trade and consumer shows. You will be required to help build the stand, and be customer facing during the show. Some of these shows occur at the weekend. The main locations for these shows are London and Birmingham.

Based in Milton Keynes, it would be an advantage if you can drive and have your own vehicle. We have plenty of free parking on site. 

Requirements:

No formal qualifications are required. However, you will need to demonstrate attention to detail, excellent verbal and written skills.

Communication skills - must be confident on the telephone

Attention to detail - especially when adding orders to the system and packing

Full Time

9am-5pm, Monday - Friday, plus the occasional weekend (see description above)
