We’re on the lookout for a Wholesale Account Director to join our team here at Virgin Media Business (VMB). The key focus will be accountability for growth in new business areas, whilst elevating the strategic relationships within our indirect partners, moving them from transactional to ground-breaking offerings. There is a huge opportunity to represent the entire range of VMB product and services set across assigned accounts, whilst leading virtual teams across presale to in-life customers.

So that’s what you’ll get up to, but what about us?

Well, we’re super proud of our history, helping communities to stay connected with oodles of outstanding products and services. We offer the full works – broadband, TV, mobile and landline – equipping our customers out with the very latest tech.

But it’s not just what we do, but why we do it that really matters.

Our mission is to become the most recommended brand, by our people and our customers. An extensive part of that journey is about how we ensure that our forward-thinking people have a working environment in which they can truly belong and thrive. For us, it’s key that every single person can bring, and be, their authentic selves at work, and we’re working hard every day to achieve this.
