Accounts Sales Representative

It’s a great time to join Screwfix. Thanks to the hard work of our team and record-breaking sales, we’re proud to be one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK. And we want to pass that growth onto you.

Whether you’re in procurement, digital, marketing or finance, there’s a role here for you. 

Reporting to the Sales Support Manager, you will be responsible for supporting the B2B Account Managers in the growth of our B2B Key Account Customers. A significant part of the role will be to proactively contact our customers to drive the success of B2B Key Accounts in multiple outbound campaigns, whilst ensuring that our customers receive the highest level of service they expect from Screwfix through proactive and regular planned contact. 

We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you – and your colleagues – the best of both worlds. Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you’ll work from our head office three days a week, working flexibly around our core working hours of 10am-3pm. Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we’ve worked hard to build an office you’ll want to work in. We also know that, when it comes to school pick-ups and home deliveries, it’s nice to have the flexibility to do both.
