About the role:
As a Sales Account Manager, you'll be responsible for your very own projects. These will be within the Equine and Shooting sectors with some well known and revered clients and publishers.

As this is a role multi tasking across different sectors, applicants must be attentive and very well organised!
You will be a key member of the team, taking part in regular open forum discussions, feeding back vital knowledge gained in the field and contributing to winning ideas – ultimately making a valuable and immediate contribution to the company's growth.
