Business Development & Account Manager

About the role

Who this role is for Recent graduates. You want a real first role in sales with proper training, quick responsibility, and a clear route into managing your own accounts. No prior experience needed; attitude and drive matter most. Experienced sales people. You can already sell and you want a clearer path into account management, with uncapped commission and a business that promotes from within rather than capping your ceiling. Energy account managers. You know the market and you want to own and grow a client base inside a B Corp certified, values-led broker, with the basic to match your experience and commission with no ceiling. Your development journey The first four months are about mastering the foundations: lead generation and outbound calling, learning the energy market, and proving you can build and manage your own pipeline, all supported by regular coaching and classroom training throughout your probation. Once you have shown you can create and manage a pipeline, the role moves into account management: owning your own client relationships, closing your own deals, and growing those accounts over time. Experienced candidates who already have these skills will move through this journey at a pace that reflects what they bring.
