Digital Sales & Account Management Job

Opportunity

Businesses in all industries are constantly in search of digital sales opportunities, making the job highly sought-after.

Recent changes in the sector

With digital sales becoming increasingly important, and on track to overtake more traditional forms of media, companies are starting to opt for candidates with direct, hands-on experience with digital platforms.

Future prospects

As digital accounts continue to assume importance in the majority of industries, roles in digital sales and account management seem set to be as crucial to businesses—if not more so—over the coming years.

Employers’ requirements

Within digital sales, employers are particularly interested in any candidate’s professional network within their given industry. Having established relationships, and a wide-ranging network of contacts plays a big part in securing jobs within sales. On the account management side of the position, some employers prefer candidates with experience handling global FMCG brands, as they are more fast-paced environments. However, across all areas of this career, the ability to communicate fluently in English is essential.

CV requirements

Candidates applying for roles in digital sales and account management should outline their achievements, including any clients or agencies that they have worked with, detailing the specific campaigns worked on. Being clear about language proficiency would also be advantageous.

Interview preparation

Interviews for positions in digital sales and account management tend to be more relaxed, with interviewers digging deep on candidates’ professional networks. Depending on the seniority of the role, you may also be asked to prepare a 90-day business plan, outlining strategies and what you can do for the company.

Educational requirements

These roles often require no higher than a Bachelor’s degree, though anyone applying for a C-suite position in account management may need a relevant Masters qualification.
