Account Manager (UK) - Slick

At Slick, a DaySmart company, we have built a smart booking platform and digital business partner for salons and barbers that is revolutionising how industry professionals interact with technology to improve their workflow and enhance their customers’ experience. Today, 65% of salons still use pen & paper to run their business and only 10% of bookings are made online. The beauty sector has yet to be transformed by technology and it is our mission to change that.

This is not your typical customer success role. This combines sales and education. We’re looking for a people‑person who’s tenacious, empathetic, driven and self‑motivated to jump straight into our Education team. You will support your customers as they become active users of Slick. You’ll be focused on building close, long‑term client relationships, staying with them as long as they continue to partner with Slick.
