Key Account Manager - South

About the opportunity:

We are the internal recruitment partner for our client, a UK-based financial services provider that offers interest-free payment solutions, primarily within the automotive sector.

Are you a natural relationship-builder with a passion for the automotive industry? Do you thrive on winning new business and making a real impact at ground level?

 We’re looking for a Key Account Manager to lead our growth across the independent garage sector in the South of England.

This is your chance to represent a flexible, forward-thinking payment solution that helps garages increase conversions and customer loyalty.

Responsibilities:

• Target, engage, and win new business across independent garages, MOT centres, tyre shops, and retail automotive outlets.
• Build trust with garage owners and managers by understanding their pain points and offering solutions that make a difference.
• Run product demos and present clearly how our payment services benefit their customers and bottom line.
• Own your territory – driving activity, managing your pipeline, and converting prospects into loyal clients.
• Represent the brand at local trade shows, industry events, and networking opportunities.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the following:

•  Proven experience in field sales, ideally in automotive.
• A confident, engaging personality – someone who enjoys being out on the road, meeting clients face-to-face.
• Solid understanding of the independent garage landscape or ability to quickly grasp the nuances of this fast-moving market.
• Self-starter mentality with strong organisational and time management skills.
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel within the South (including areas such as London, the Southeast, and Southwest).

In return we are offering:

• A competitive basic salary of £45,000 (plus OTE of £20,000).
• £5,000 car allowance
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
• An opportunity to join a fast-growing business that’s reshaping how garages offer flexible payments to customers.
• High autonomy and trust to shape your region
• Competitive package, real earning potential, and long-term career growth.
• Supportive and agile team culture where innovation is valued.
