We are based in the heart of Digbeth’s creative quarter, offering a vibrant and accessible city centre location for our team. We provide a stable Monday-to-Friday schedule, allowing for a consistent work-life balance while working in a fast-paced, goal-oriented environment.

As an Account Executive, you will act as the primary link between our clients and their potential customers. You will be responsible for managing brand reputation and driving business development through direct, professional communication. This is an on-site, client-facing role that requires a proactive approach to identifying new opportunities and maintaining existing relationships.
Your daily responsibilities will include:
- Client and Customer Communication: Engaging with potential customers and business contacts daily. You will be expected to answer questions, explain service benefits clearly, and maintain a high standard of professional etiquette.
- Sales and Business Development: Identifying new leads, following up on interest, and supporting the wider sales process. You will work to book meetings and close sales to help meet campaign objectives.
- Account Management: Overseeing existing accounts to ensure customer satisfaction. You will handle queries efficiently and look for opportunities to improve or expand the service provided to the client.
- Product Presentation: Tailoring brand messages to meet specific customer needs. You must be able to represent our clients confidently and accurately at all times.
- Performance Tracking and Reporting: Using our internal systems and CRM to keep accurate records of sales activity, customer feedback, and results. You will provide regular updates to the management team on your progress and any challenges faced.
- Meeting Targets: Working towards specific individual and team KPIs, including appointments booked, customer retention figures, and overall campaign performance.
Candidate Profile
We are looking for a candidate who is genuinely people-focused and enjoys the challenge of building relationships from scratch. While we provide comprehensive training, we value individuals who bring a positive work ethic and a resilient attitude to the team.
The following attributes and experiences are highly regarded:
- Experience: Previous experience in sales, marketing, or business development is preferred. This could be through a previous professional role or an academic background in a relevant field.

- Ambition: This role is suited to someone who values personal development and wants to see a direct correlation between their effort and their career growth.
Career Progression and Training
At Limegreen Marketing, we believe that progression should be based on performance, consistency, and the ability to take on responsibility rather than just length of service. We provide a structured environment where a motivated Account Executive can genuinely grow into leadership roles.

- Senior Account Executive: Handling higher-value accounts and beginning to support and mentor newer team members.
- Account Manager or Team Leader: Taking responsibility for a small portfolio and helping with the training and performance reporting of a team.
