We are looking for passionate Account Managers to join the team at our offices in converted farm buildings in Aldbourne. Aldbourne is a charming village in north Wiltshire that’s easily accessed from Marlborough, Swindon, Chippenham, Bath and Bristol.
Our approach focuses on high quality; our goal is to provide market-leading customer service and exceptional instructor-led training. Our clients are mainly in the UK but increasingly we are providing training to organisations across the EU, the Americas and Africa.
You need to be at ease listening to and learning from the technical experts we support, whilst developing long-term trusted supply relationships based on a genuine understanding of your client’s requirements. At the same time, you also need to be creative and alive to developing the opportunities you spot in the course of your working day.
We’re not a stuffy organisation. There are a handful of us working in a relaxed and friendly office, understanding and fulfilling customer requirements while supporting a network of trusted trainers who work off-site. It is an inspiring and purposeful place to be; you’ll be encouraged to be proactive about developing and finding the opportunities that are out there. We’ll support you at every step and provide what you need to do your best work at all times.
There’s an office dog too. He’s super-friendly and his name is Ted.
