Account Manager Uk

Description:

As a hands-on and successful Account Manager you are aware of the developments in the solar market and the needs of our partners (installers and distributors). You can build a good relationship with our customers and prospects and want to invest in long term partnerships. You are keen to open the UK market even more by facilitating customers in their needs.

Which opportunities do you want to discuss during the commercial meetings with colleagues from the Sales Team UK and what actions will follow from this. Together with your colleagues, you determine the focus for the next week. The rest of the week you are mainly on the road visiting customers and prospects. After these visits you record the agreements, you work out the information obtained, and you plan the follow-up in our system (MS Dynamics CE). It is a challenging position for 40 hours a week (fulltime) and you will be working from your home office.
