About DS Smith

DS Smith sells corrugated packaging on account rather than by the order: its UK Packaging (Retail) account managers each take over an established portfolio of FMCG and industrial customers in one region (Midlands and South West, Midlands and South East), grow volume and margin by bringing in the design and innovation teams, and forecast volume and revenue in the CRM. New logos belong to business development managers in the UK Speciality Cluster, each a hunter for one segment (automotive across the UK and Ireland, construction and agriculture) who builds account playbooks and pitches, runs tenders and hands won accounts to strategic account managers; some UK seats come out of a UK packaging reorganisation and are open only to affected staff. TMS Global, the DS Smith subsidiary that runs retail display, print and packaging programs for global brands, hires client leads instead of hunters: a remote regional account manager in Germany who steers account teams and project delivery against margin targets, and a Manchester regional key account director who carries one global client's EMEA P&L (the same title is open in Shanghai). On the Continent the seats are plant-based account managers and sales representatives who quote, confirm orders, settle complaints and take new products through production: in Poland (Bełchatów, covering Łódź province and part of Silesia, where most of the week goes to project coordination and data and the rest to customer visits, and Oława), in Tallinn (Estonian, Russian and English plus a driving licence) and in Dueñas, Spain, with further account manager seats in London and Mumbai. Lockerbie also lists part-time and fixed-term internal sales administrator roles in customer services, which are support work rather than selling.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: No sampled posting states a salary figure. The UK account manager and business development postings promise a competitive salary and a discretionary bonus with pension, life assurance and income protection, and none describes a commission plan, an OTE or a bonus target; the Lockerbie administrator postings give a pro-rated competitive salary. The Estonian posting offers a competitive wage with a performance bonus when targets are met and a monthly sport and health allowance, while the German, Polish and TMS director postings name no pay. Ask for the base, what the discretionary bonus has paid out against target, whether it weighs volume, margin or new business won, and whether a car or car allowance comes with the remote, travel-heavy UK seats.
