About Ocean Bottle

​

 

Ocean Bottle exists to enable anyone that gives a damn about this planet the opportunity to help turn the tap off ocean plastic. We have some great backing behind us, big ambitions and want you to help us achieve them. This is an opportunity to come join a brand that is going to change the world for the better. 

 

Since launching in January 2019 Ocean Bottle has shipped nearly 130k units out into the world, collected 1,973,940kgs of plastic and improved livelihoods at the same time. By 2025 our goal is to fund collection equivalent to 7 billion plastic bottles from entering the ocean. 

 

Will you help us get there?

ABOUT THE ROLE

​

We’re looking for a new Account Manager to join Team OB and help us support our reseller accounts. The accounts you will be managing are within the Corporate Merchandising Industry. 

​

These accounts offer their clients unique co-branding opportunities and help them fulfil their Environmental and CSR Obligations. 

​

The role will have two main parts:

​

• Supporting existing accounts nurture and close corporate co branding opportunities 

• Growing each account through careful management; focusing on industry leading sales support, lead + best practise sharing, fast action, metric 
   

Your core responsibilities will be pitching Ocean Bottle directly to companies and organisations, working within the sales team and assisting other Ocean Bottle teams with their sales. The company and its impact is growing quickly so the job will be varied and no day will be the same. 

 

The B2B market for Ocean Bottle is varied and wide, and we work with multinational conglomerates, start ups, sports teams, government bodies, and many more. Ocean Bottle is used as a promotional item, a stakeholder gift or as a CSR/ESG programme for companies to engage their employees or audience and help have an impact on the ocean plastic crisis. 

 

We need the right Account Manager to convey the opportunities to our partners within the Corporate Merchandising Industry and drive plastic collection through them.
