Old School is on the lookout for a service-focused, detail-oriented B2B Account Manager to take ownership of two vital commercial channels: our individual B2B clients (corporate and bulk orders) and our wholesale/retail partners (stockists and retail resellers). This is a delivery-driven role focused on operational excellence, internal coordination, and nurturing long-term partner satisfaction.

Role Overview:
As a B2B Account Manager, your time will be split between two key account types:

●      Ensure seamless execution across quoting, ordering, fulfillment, invoicing, and follow-up.
●      Provide clear communication and proactive problem-solving to build trust and repeat business.
●      Support B2B clients with product suggestions, timelines, and seasonal opportunities where relevant.
Shared Responsibilities Across Both Channels:
●      Coordinate internal workflows and timelines to ensure all orders are delivered accurately and on time.
●      Maintain up-to-date records in CRM systems, including communications, order status, and account notes.
●      Troubleshoot issues quickly and proactively, ensuring a high standard of service at all times.
●      Relay product and process feedback from clients and partners to the relevant internal teams.
●      Contribute to the overall sales function by enabling repeat business and partner satisfaction.
Who You Are:
●      A highly organised, service-driven account manager or operations coordinator.
●      Confident managing multiple accounts and internal workflows simultaneously.
●      Great at building long-term relationships through clear communication and reliability.
●      Proactive in identifying potential issues and resolving them before they impact delivery.
●      Comfortable working independently while collaborating cross-functionally.
●      Passionate about the sportswear and retail space.
Requirements:
●      2+ years of experience in B2B account management, wholesale servicing, or sales operations.
●      Understanding of order fulfillment, delivery logistics, and customer service best practices.
