Our core purpose is to Redefine Packaging for a Changing World, and our expert teams work closely with like-minded partners to incorporate renewable resources for products that minimize our environmental impact, reduce complexity, and increase profitability through supply chain optimization.

About the role  

We have a fabulous opportunity for a pro-active and driven individual to join as an Account Director for the UK Retail Marketing Division. This would be a perfect opportunity for an ambitious, customer focused individual to come and be part of this amazing team

Working with a wide range of internal stakeholder and customers, you will use your skill and experience to work with our clients on a variety of 3D POS projects; FSDU’s and Shippers. This is a client facing role and therefore suit someone who strives for customer satisfaction, loyalty and delivering a customer experience that exceeds our customers’ expectations. This role would also manage a small team for a specific group of customer accounts so previous experience of managing a small team would be ideal.

As a strong sales professional, ideally with a retail background, you will support your team to manage the accounts within your area, monitor the progress of the client requests and advise solutions as required. This role will work closely with both new and existing clients and so being able to support new clients through the DS Smith processes is essential to ensure we are delighting our customers and providing an excellent level of service.

You will be home-based but will be required to travel to meet customers and teams at our sites needed.

So, if you are an existing Account Manager within Retail Marketing looking for a step-up or an existing Account Director looking for a new challenge, with the energy and proactiveness to work in in a fast-paced role – then we might be looking for you
