Look after the accounts that matter most...

Our client is a leading, globally recognised fashion brand with product that people want and a strong reputation with the retailers who sell it. They're now looking for a Key Account Manager to take charge of their largest order book and biggest accounts.

This is a core commercial role at the heart of the business. If you thrive on building strong, long-term customer relationships and delivering consistent results, this is a chance to manage some of the most important accounts at a world-famous name.

The Opportunity:

You'll be the main commercial contact for a portfolio of the brand's key customers, responsible for the sales, service and growth of those accounts. You'll manage the order book from season-opening through to delivery, making sure every customer gets the right product, at the right time, with the right support.

Working closely with sales, planning, supply chain and customer service, you'll make sure your accounts are looked after and your targets are met.

Manage and grow a portfolio of the brand's largest accounts, delivering sales and margin targets
Own the order book, including order intake, range presentation, forecasting and in-season management
Build strong, trusted relationships with buyers and senior stakeholders at your customers
Run seasonal range reviews and buying appointments, presenting the collection with confidence
Negotiate terms, pricing, promotional activity and commercial agreements
Monitor account performance with sales and stock data, and act on opportunities and risks
Work with planning and supply chain to make sure orders are delivered on time and in full
Handle queries, issues and escalations quickly and professionally
Spot opportunities to expand distribution, grow the range and increase share within each account
Keep accurate forecasts, reporting and account plans

About You:

Proven key account management experience, ideally within fashion, apparel or consumer brands

Strong commercial awareness and confidence negotiating with buyers
Organised and detail-focused, able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
Comfortable working with sales data, forecasts and reporting
