Account Executive

Account Executive

Do you have a background in sales and an interest in advertising? Then this could be your next move. We're growing our Sales Hub in Hull, and are hiring Account Managers to join the team!

As an Account Manager, you'll keep, grow and champion a portfolio of clients by delivering first-class marketing solutions across Reach PLC's portfolio covering print, digital, video, social, content solutions and partnerships. You'll be a trusted consultant, focused on value, building long-term relationships that drive renewals and smart upsell.

You'll get to know each client and understand their needs, and will utilize your knowledge to spot opportunities and pitch tailored solutions that hit their goals. You'll own a defined book of accounts, be their go-to contact and build strategic plans to grow revenue, lift order value and unlock growth across products and channels. Using insights and campaign performance, you'll lead consultative conversations, pinpoint needs and recommend what works.

You'll also run win-back campaigns — re-engaging lapsed advertisers. You'll figure out why they left, craft compelling reactivation offers and bring them back for the long term.

To thrive in this role, you'll need a proven track record in sales or client management, showcasing your dedication to customer success. You'll be a consultative seller with fantastic negotiation and closing skills.

Your enthusiasm for marketing and advertising will fuel your drive, and your detail-oriented yet flexible approach will ensure resilience and adaptability, and you'll possess outstanding oral and written communication skills, along with impressive presentation abilities to explain complex solutions effectively.

We're looking for strong planning and organizational skills, coupled with proficient problem-solving capabilities. You should be able to work swiftly without compromising quality and excel at building robust client relationships. We need someone with strong digital literacy, with confident use of CRM systems, spreadsheets and presentation tools, and the ability to learn new platforms quickly.

We're offering £25,000 - £36,000 + bonus depending on experience.

We take good care of our people - and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:

• 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
• An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
• Big moment day - an extra day's paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
• Bonus scheme - you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
• Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
• Supportive and progressive people policies - we're proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression.
• A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
• Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
• Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
• Access to lots of discounts - including 15% off with Reach's very own online marketplace, Yimbly, where you can buy everything from homewares to beauty products.
