Location: London (Full Time Office Based, Monument)

About Us:
Hackstons is a London based luxury asset firm specialising in fine wine, rare whisky and alternative investments. We support private clients in building long‑term wealth through premium asset ownership, backed by education, secure storage and a curated retail experience.
The Role
As a new business account manager, you will be the first point of contact for prospective clients and investors who have registered an interest in cask whisky investments. This role is perfect for ambitious and determined individuals who want to build a serious career in sales/alternative investments and earn well by delivering results.
You don’t need experience in whisky or investments, we will teach you that. What you do need is the drive to learn, the confidence to speak with people, and the determination to improve every day.
You will be part of a brand new team with a sole focus to onboard new clients to the business. At present the company has senior account managers who are acting in a 360 capacity with our clients, managing existing client portfolios whilst still onboarding new clients. We are separating those sections of the business allowing senior account managers to focus on existing client portfolios and bringing in a brand new team solely responsible for new business clients.
This role would suit someone coming from estate agency, recruitment, hospitality, luxury retail, automotive sales or another customer facing environment. It would also suit a graduate or early career professional looking for an opportunity where progression is based on performance rather than time served.
If you’re looking for an easy ride or a 9 to 5 where you simply clock in and out, this probably isn’t the role for you. We are looking for people that are excited by the prospect of developing into a high performing sales professional in a growing investment business.
This role represents a fantastic opportunity to join a company at a significant growth phase meaning the potential of substantial career progression in the coming years for the right individuals.
