If you're driven, hungry and ready for a new opportunity to grow, read on...

We're looking for a Telesales Account Manager to join our growing telesales team. Based in Birmingham, you'll be handling a variety of accounts, sourcing new leads, and building meaningful relationships with new clients. Yes, you'll be making cold calls, but you'll be selling from our suite of commercial products which are not only useful, but incredibly important, to clients in today's media-obsessed age.

Your primary focus will be new business; we need someone who can make the best name for themselves on the market. We need a fast-paced, motivated sales exec who can spot a lead from a mile away, who clients know they can trust, someone who sees this growing team as a huge opportunity to make a real mark for themselves.

We are Reach because it's what we do.
