Careers

Are you a creative Account Manager with excellent customer service and influencing skills? If so, we are expanding our Sales Team and have the perfect opportunity for someone just like you! 

We have temporary and permanent opportunities available.

At Nimlok we create engaging exhibition stands and displays for the UK’s leading and fastest growing brands. We’re one of the largest exhibition stand contractors in the UK. We work with marketing professionals to fully understand their exhibiting objectives, which allows us to offer much more than just an architectural solution. At the heart of every bespoke exhibition stand design and build project we undertake we consider brand reflection, ergonomics, visitor flow, sales interaction and commercial viability, and most importantly a measurable result for our customers. Our award winning teams are qualified, experienced and passionate about what they do, from the outset thinking outside the box.

This is a great industry to be part of, and we are expanding our Account Management team, based at our head office in Wellingborough.

Key responsibilities:

The role of Account Manager is to be first point of contact for designated existing customers.  You will forge strong customer relationships with decision makers at all levels, and as you build up an expert knowledge of each of your key accounts you will use this to seek out opportunity to cross sell new products and services, including digital engagement, creative and artwork to achieve the end goal of meeting the customers exhibiting objectives.

The ideal Account Manager:

This role requires you to have previously successfully managed a portfolio of key accounts, and have strong influencing, customer service and negotiating skills.  A proven track record in relationship building and sales is essential, as are excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, being extremely organised and able to manage own time effectively to ensure the job gets done – even under pressure.

A background in the industry is not essential, though having experience of working in exhibitions or a creative agency or similar environment would be beneficial.

In return we can offer a competitive salary depending upon experience plus benefits including: Pension with employer contribution, Health Care scheme and Death in Service.

Flexibility is essential, as at peak times there will be a requirement to work additional hours to ensure that our customer needs are met.  Face to face time with our customers at their offices is also key to maintaining strong customer links, so there will be a degree of national travel on a weekly basis and therefore a full driving licence is required.

If you are wanting to be part of an exciting and creative industry and are looking for your next challenge as an Account Manager then we want to hear from you.

Are you a sophisticated sales professional capable of managing a complex and creative proposition? Do you possess excellent influencing skills and a track record of appointment setting or sales results? If so, our vacancy may just be the next career step you are looking for!

At Nimlok we create engaging exhibition stands helping our clients achieve enhanced results from exhibiting at trade exhibitions across Europe and increasingly further afield. This is an exciting, creative and dynamic business with a 100 strong team and purpose built facility with fantastic equipment and resources. 

Our customers are marketing professionals responsible for their company’s presence at exhibitions across the world. With over 200 competitors, our prospects are inundated with lazy, simplistic and tired marketing techniques, against which Nimlok strives to be different, deploying a much more sophisticated approach. 

Nimlok’s unique formula uses a clever blend of modular hired architecture with bespoke features and graphics to delivery custom stands more efficiently.  With a focus on visitor engagement, we also lead the way in pioneering exciting new ways for our clients to tell their story, with investment in technology and digital content creation skills setting us apart from our traditional rivals.  It is these differentiators that, with clever sales handling, help us challenge the industry status quo.

Responsibilities:

Utilising the data placed into our CRM system by the Nimlok marketing team, the principal role of the Inside Business Developer is to develop pitch opportunities by contacting and nurturing these prospects before setting appointments for our New Business Managers.

In addition to your success in delivering the desired appointment rates, the successful candidates will also be required to record activity details on our CRM system in a timely manner to ensure that the data held is accurate and current.

The ideal Inside Business Developer:

This role requires you to have successfully undertaken a similar call based sales position.  You will possess strong influencing and organisational skills, but also display the aptitude to package what makes Nimlok different in a very intelligent, concise and compelling way.  Aside from a proven track record in a telesales, you will display excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, be highly organised and able to manage your own time effectively to ensure the job gets done – even under pressure.

As well as being capable of a sophisticated sales call, we also need techy savvy individuals to master our cutting edge marketing and CRM systems to maximum effect.  This isn’t “one hit wonder, telesales” it’s a nurturing process using high quality data, tools, and skills to deliver high quality results.

Experience of working in exhibitions or having sold to a marketing audience would be beneficial, but not essential providing you display the desired levels of intelligence, ambition and personality. 

Extensive ongoing training is key to this role and will include internal and external sales coaching, system training and crucially market training with regular visits to exhibitions. You will also receive the benefit of time on the road with our New Business Managers (attending some of the appointments you set for them) in order that you can understand the positive effect you can have on our sales pipeline.

This a great industry to be part of, and an organisation with a track record of internal promotions. 

In return we can offer a competitive basic starting salary (depending upon experience) + benefits including: Pension with employer contribution, Health Care scheme and Death in Service.  Core working hours are Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:30.
