Account Executive

Account Executive (Admin & Commercial Support Focus)
£DOE
Ipswich

If you're highly organised, commercially aware, and enjoy being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes, this is a role where you'll become absolutely central to a fast-paced sales operation.

This isn't a pure sales role. It's about owning the detail, keeping everything moving, and supporting a key retail channel - while developing your commercial skills over time.

Why this role stands out

• Huge exposure to a major retail channel
• A role with real variety - admin, coordination, commercial input, and client interaction
• Opportunity to grow into a more sales-focused position over time
• Be the operational backbone behind live TV sales activity

The Role

You'll support the day-to-day running of the account, making sure everything is prepared, delivered, and followed up to the highest standard.

You'll be:

• Preparing product selections, pricing, and offers ahead of TV shows
• Coordinating samples, stock, imagery, and all show-related materials
• Managing Excel reports, forecasts, and post-show sales analysis
• Handling the admin behind listings, orders, and product setup
• Supporting communication to improve performance and opportunities
• Monitoring results and feeding back insights to improve future shows

What they're looking for

• Strong organisational and admin skills (this is key)
• Confident Excel user - able to manage data, reports, and forecasts
• Commercial awareness - understands sales, margins, and performance
• Comfortable speaking with clients and building relationships
• Proactive mindset - someone who spots issues and takes ownership

Ideal background (but not essential)

• Sales support / account executive / admin within a commercial environment
• Retail, e-commerce, or fast-paced product-based business
• Experience supporting account managers or sales teams

The reality of the role

There's a lot of moving parts, a lot of detail, and a lot of responsibility.
If you enjoy being organised, taking ownership, and making things run smoothly, you'll thrive here.

Longer term, there's the opportunity to develop the more commercial side of the role and take on greater ownership of the account.
