The Account Manager will take ownership of driving Wardles sales performance — with a core focus on FP10 growth — across an assigned customer base and wider Bestway Group accounts. This role moves beyond day-to-day telesales activity into strategic account leadership, setting the sales plan, shaping how we win business, and ensuring Wardles is represented confidently and commercially across the group.

The postholder will act as the face of Wardles, building strong customer and internal relationships, identifying opportunities, and ensuring our value proposition is clearly understood and utilised.

• Support key accounts across the Bestway Group through regular in-person visits (up to two days per week).

• Build relationships with key internal teams to ensure Wardles is championed consistently across the group.

Experience in the healthcare/pharmacy sector is desirable but by no means essential. The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience with in account management, telesales or pharmacy/healthcare sales, with proven ability to grow and retain accounts.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, able to deliver complex propositions confidently.
• Highly self-motivated, resilient, target-driven and able to work autonomously as well as within a small team.
