International Sales Account Manager - Textile & Fabrics

Key Details

We’ve partnered with a well-established, internationally recognised fabrics manufacturer operating within the interiors and design sector, based in Leeds City Centre.

The Role

You’ll manage a portfolio of international customers and oversee a network of overseas agents and distributors. While agents generate local leads, you will take ownership of larger, high-value accounts, building relationships, progressing opportunities and closing business. This role is KPI-driven and proactive in nature.

The Candidate

We are seeking a confident, articulate and professional individual who will be comfortable speaking with high-profile clients. You will understand the importance of relationship-led selling, ideally within a design-led industry, preferably interior design.

• Proven experience in proactive outbound telephone sales
• Strong account management and relationship-building ability
• Experience working with international customers, agents or distributors
• Commercially aware with confident negotiation skills
• Highly organised and KPI-driven
• Comfortable working independently in a small team environment
