This is a brand–new role for a very well established, highly regarded print management business. You ll need to be coming into this with print knowledge as you ll be the first and last point of contact for your client.
Your passion as an Account Director is about nurturing and developing relationships. You ll be walking into this with a brand new client to the business, so if you know how to onboard and integrate a new client into a business then you re already one step ahead too.
Account Director in print businesses can look very different. Here, you ll be strategically leading and developing a new account that has been won. By the time you come into the business, the client will more or less have gone through the transition phase and about to be integrated. Perfect timing for you to set your stall and get into building those relationships from the ground up.
Print Management can, in some places, be corporate and red tape everywhere. Not here. This place is quirky, it s unique and they love a good maverick. Roll your sleeves up, get in and amongst it. There s no ivory tower here.
As the Account Director coming into the business, you ll be supported and surrounded by a great team. It s got knowledge, experience, longevity, togetherness and good fun. The business is a Print Management business on paper but inside there, it s way more than that. Propriety tech stack looking at web 2 print, e–commerce and driving efficiency. They are a Marketing Services and Brand Activation business with warehouse & fulfilment thrown in for good measure.
I could write bullet points of what experience and knowledge you need to do this job but in all honesty, if you re a Senior Account Manager or an Account Director with experience in the print and or marketing sector and you are open to looking around, then you ll be able to do this job. A lot of it will come down to culture fit for you and for them. Luckily for you, I know this business very well having worked with them for over 6 years.
There s a big team ethos and mentality here so when you re not meeting with your client, you ll be in the office more often than not. So before you apply, make sure you can and happy to commute into the office. This office is based is in Northwich, Cheshire.
When moving jobs, you have to ensure that the reward is worth the risk of moving. I get it. Here, you ll be part of something special. A place that has pretty much doubled it s revenue over the last 2 years, they ve become an EOT and plans to really push on with this new client and further new clients in the pipeline.
