Sales Account Manager

SALES ACCOUNT MANAGER – BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Think you can convince a Marketing Director to go for a coffee with one of the world’s most famous marketing agencies? If so, we want to hear from you.

WHO ARE INGENUITY?

A new business consultancy with a difference. We help agencies, brands, and tech businesses start new relationships, and are proud to be one of the UK’s top players in this rapidly evolving space. Our shiny new office is in one of London’s buzziest neighbourhoods, with a plethora of restaurants, bars, and cultural institutions right on our doorstep.

YOUR MISSION

You'll be tasked with using research, insights, content, thought leadership, webinars, and events to get your agency clients in front of senior marketing stakeholders. This isn’t your typical sales role. One day you could be exploring how tourism brands can best use influencers. The next, you could be diving into what neobanks mean for millennials or looking at how gaming has gone mainstream and what this means for traditional PR.

ABOUT YOU

We know every company expects you to be proactive, articulate, and inquisitive, but we really mean it. These are core skills - a must, not a nice-to-have. Fundamentally, the role boils down to brilliant communication with colleagues, senior-level clients, and high-profile prospects. Having outstanding verbal and written skills is imperative.

THE ROLE: FINER DETAILS

This is a hybrid role, with some days spent in our office in central London and others spent working from home. The day-to-day role will include:

• Targeting: Putting together lists of suitable companies and individuals to approach
• Insights: Conducting research and gathering market intel to strengthen your approaches
• Outreach: Using the phone, email, and LinkedIn to reach out to senior marketers
• Reporting: Leading regular catch-ups with your clients, both online and F2F

You'll be supported by a highly experienced senior team, who will set the strategy and direction and will be on hand to offer advice and guidance. Beyond that, there's a rich, in-depth training programme which will arm you with all the skills you need to succeed. You'll learn a lot about the marketing and business landscape, client / account management, and the art of consultative, content-led business development. You'll be immersed in the creative and commercial world and will get direct exposure to some of the brightest minds in the industry.
