You’ll also have the opportunity to build print runs and create a range of individual bespoke books for the National Accounts you handle. Your accounts will be part of the leading established and growing supermarket sector, so it’s important you have very good previous supermarket sales experience, ideally in books or equivalent mass market consumer products.

This role would suit someone already at mass market national account management, or sales management level, however, the publisher would consider other candidates not yet at this level, but are more than experienced and ready to step up to National Account Management level.
