International Sales Account Manager - Textile & Fabrics

Are you a commercially driven sales professional who thrives on building long-term international relationships? Do you enjoy the balance of proactive outbound sales, account growth and working with overseas agents to unlock market potential?

We’ve partnered with a well-established, internationally recognised fabrics manufacturer operating within the interiors and design sector, based in Leeds City Centre. This is an opportunity for an individual with a passion for the textiles and fabrics industry to make an impact across a small, collaborative team, take ownership of European and Rest of World markets, and drive consistent revenue growth.

Key Benefits:

  • £28,000 - £30,000 pa, Dependent on Experience
  • Realistic OTE £40,000
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing with service)
  • Leeds city centre location (5 minutes from train station)
  • Company pension and additional company benefits
  • Stable, supportive SME environment with autonomy

The Role

You’ll manage a portfolio of international customers and oversee a network of overseas agents and distributors. While agents generate local leads, you will take ownership of larger, high-value accounts, building relationships, progressing opportunities and closing business.

This role is KPI-driven and proactive in nature. You’ll spend a significant portion of your day on outbound calls and digital outreach, maintaining strong customer contact and ensuring accounts are fully aware of new collections and opportunities. It’s a hands-on position in a small team where self-motivation and commercial awareness are key.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Proactively contact international customers daily via phone & email.
  • Grow each territory by at least 10% annually
  • Manage and develop high-value international accounts
  • Oversee and support international agents and distributors
  • Progress and close international opportunities
  • Maintain accurate CRM records (Freshsales)
  • Deliver regular sales updates and forecasts
  • Ensure customers are consistently updated on new collections and product launches
  • Collaborate with internal sales administration support

The Candidate

We are seeking a confident, articulate and professional individual who will be comfortable speaking with high-profile clients. You will understand the importance of relationship-led selling, ideally within a design-led industry, preferably interior design.

If you’re resilient, proactive and motivated by growth targets but also value long-term relationship-building over quick wins and feel that you’d thrive in a smaller business, this is an excellent opportunity to take the next step in your sales career within what is a fast-paced industry.

Key Skills:

  • Proven experience in proactive outbound telephone sales
  • Strong account management and relationship-building ability
  • Experience working with international customers, agents or distributors
  • Commercially aware with confident negotiation skills
  • Highly organised and KPI-driven
  • Comfortable working independently in a small team environment
  • CRM experience (Freshsales or similar)
  • Full UK driving licence

Desirable:

  • Experience within textiles, interiors, design or a related creative industry
  • Exposure to European or international markets

Our Client

Our client is a well-established, internationally operating manufacture of fabrics for the fashion and interiors industries. With a strong heritage and reputation for quality, they supply customers globally and work closely with agents and distributors across Europe and Rest of World markets. Based in Leeds City Centre, they offer a collaborative, supportive working environment where individuals are trusted to take ownership of their markets and drive growth.
