Spanish-Speaking Export Sales Account Manager

Languages: Fluent Spanish and English essential

Build relationships. Drive sales. Grow internationally.

Are you a confident Spanish speaker with a natural ability to build relationships, influence decisions and identify commercial opportunities?

We’re looking for a Spanish-Speaking Export Sales Account Manager to join a leading international business at its UK headquarters in Nottingham. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of an established portfolio of international customers, develop valuable business partnerships and contribute directly to sales growth across a range of global markets.

Working with independent retailers and international distributors across Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, you’ll play a key role in ensuring customers have the right products, continue to place regular orders and take advantage of new product opportunities.

This is a relationship-led sales role where credibility, commercial awareness and excellent communication skills are just as important as the ability to close a sale.

You’ll manage and develop relationships with an established portfolio of international distributors, independent retailers and trade accounts. Through regular outbound calls and proactive account management, you’ll understand your customers’ businesses, identify opportunities to increase sales and help strengthen the company’s presence across your assigned territories.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing customer relationships: Build strong, long-term partnerships with international distributors and independent retailers, becoming a trusted point of contact for their businesses.

• Driving sales growth: Encourage repeat orders, introduce new products and identify opportunities to increase customer spend and expand product ranges.

• Proactive account management: Maintain regular contact with customers through outbound calls, ensuring accounts remain active and commercial opportunities are maximised.

• Developing distributors: Work closely with distribution partners to understand their business objectives, agree challenging but achievable sales targets and support them in growing their markets.

• Building credibility and rapport: Communicate professionally and confidently with a diverse range of customers, adapting your approach to different personalities, cultures and business environments.

• Handling objections: Listen to customer concerns, overcome challenges and influence purchasing decisions through a consultative, customer-focused approach.

• Understanding customer needs: Provide relevant product information, commercial advice and support to help customers make informed purchasing decisions.

• Managing international accounts: Balance competing priorities, maintain accurate account information and work effectively across different time zones.

• Taking ownership of results: Monitor account performance, identify opportunities for improvement and take responsibility for achieving sales objectives.

About You

We’re looking for someone who combines excellent communication skills with commercial drive and a genuine enthusiasm for building business relationships.

You’ll be confident speaking with customers at all levels, comfortable leading conversations and capable of developing trust with people from a variety of backgrounds.

To succeed in this role, you’ll ideally have:

• Full business proficiency in both Spanish and English.

• Experience in B2B sales, account management, business development or a similar customer-facing commercial role.

• The ability to build rapport quickly and develop credible, professional relationships.

• Strong verbal communication and active listening skills.

• Confidence discussing commercial matters, influencing purchasing decisions and handling objections.

• A proactive approach to identifying sales opportunities and developing existing accounts.

• Excellent organisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple customers and priorities.

• Resilience, determination and a results-driven mindset.

• The confidence to work independently, take ownership of your accounts and meet challenging targets.

• An adaptable approach to working across different cultures and international markets.

Additional fluency in French and/or Arabic would be a significant advantage.

Previous experience in export sales or international account management would be beneficial, but it isn’t essential. We’re also interested in candidates who can demonstrate the right communication skills, commercial instincts and motivation to succeed, even if their experience comes from a different sector.

Above all, we want someone who understands that successful account management is about more than making sales calls. It’s about building trust, understanding customers’ businesses and creating partnerships that deliver long-term commercial results.

Why Join?

• International exposure: Work with customers and distribution partners across a diverse range of global markets.

• Relationship-led sales: Develop meaningful business partnerships and take ownership of an established customer portfolio.

• Commercial impact: Make a direct contribution to sales growth through repeat business, new product sales and account development.

• Career development: Build your expertise in international sales, export account management and business development.

• Competitive salary: Earn £40,000 per annum while developing your career within an established international business.

Important Information

Location: This is a full-time, office-based position at the company's UK headquarters in Nottingham.

Right to work: Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Languages: Business-level fluency in both Spanish and English is essential. Additional fluency in French and/or Arabic is desirable.
