ABOUT BOOKSPEED

At Bookspeed, we believe there’s always a place for books, and we’re looking for a Sales Account Manager to help get more books into the world!
We are a fun, creative, and customer-focused book wholesaler, curating and supplying beautiful book ranges to a diverse mix of retailers. Our customers include quirky independent boutiques and well-known brands –like Oliver Bonas and Moonpig– as well as farm shops, garden centres, and many of the UK’s leading heritage sites and attractions –such as the National Trust and the Natural History Museum.
We also strive to make Bookspeed a great place to work, with a strong focus on wellbeing, inclusion, flexible working hours, and fun.

THE ROLE

At Bookspeed, you’ll play a key role in driving growth by managing and developing a wide range of customer accounts — from existing clients to new retail partners. You’ll focus on building strong relationships, curating tailored product ranges, and growing account revenue, all while delivering the high level of service Bookspeed is known for.
Working closely with internal teams and reporting to the Sales Operations & Support Manager, you’ll have the support and feedback needed to succeed. This role is ideal for someone proactive, commercially aware, and passionate about helping customers thrive.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

• Building and maintaining strong, long-term customer relationships.
• Understanding customer needs and curating tailored product ranges.
• Identifying opportunities to grow revenue within existing accounts.
• Converting prospects into active, loyal customers.
• Managing day-to-day communications and delivering exceptional service.
• Working collaboratively with internal teams to ensure smooth service delivery.
