We are seeking an Account Manager to join the growing and thriving Hilti team, ensuring we can give the best possible service to our customers and the industry. There is no better time to join us!
We are looking for a Account Manager to join our team covering Belfast, North Derry and Antrim and actively welcome applications from local candidates and candidates willing to relocate to the area. We don’t expect you to be construction expert...but you will be once you’ve graduated from our award-winning training course. For this reason, we invite candidates from all industries to join our Globally recognised team to begin a career where your development is always our number one priority.
Hilti is where innovation is improving productivity, safety and sustainability in the global construction industry, and beyond. Where strong customer relationships are creating solutions that build a better future. Where there is pride and a sense of belonging across our 120 locations, carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers.
At Hilti, we work a little differently. We have a direct sales model which allows us to ensure a high-level customer interaction at every encounter. We love our customers! The Account Management role is strategic account development focussed, partnering with existing customers ensuring the Hilti product basket is optimised. This is no ordinary sales or business development manager job; we don't believe in a hard sell because our strong core values allow us to focus purely on building long-term sustainable relationships with our customers.
The Account Management role is very autonomous, your red Hilti van will be your office and you will plan, organise and prioritise your time to ensure effectiveness within your territory. We partner with our customers to understand their business needs and how our products can add value.
The purpose of the role is to create value in the allocated account's portfolio through effective design and implementation of individual account strategies to build long term, sustainable and profitable relationships with the customer. The role involves professional field sales and high level customer consultation in the defined territory within the target industry.
