WHAT'S THE ROLE?

As an Account Manager, you are the face of Hilti and the very foundation of our direct sales model. This role is all about having meaningful interactions with customers and taking a consultative approach to support them in improving productivity, safety, and sustainability.

WHO IS HILTI?

Hilti is where innovation is improving productivity, safety and sustainability in the global construction industry, and beyond. Where strong customer relationships are creating products and solutions that are Making Construction Better.

Hilti Great Britain has been consistently recognised as a top employer for nearly two decades and is currently ranked in the top 20 UK’s Best Workplaces by the Great Place to Work institute.

WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE?

In your role as an Account Manager, no day will be the same, but you can expect your days to include:

1. Visiting sites and customers in the field, asking open questions to understand their needs, listening, and turning this into a tailor-made solution.
2. Demonstrating our innovative products and state-of-the-art software to customers on-site.
3. Further developing ‘focus’ customers by building relationships, as well as uncovering new business leads.
4. Being responsible for the operational, organisational, and strategic management of your sales area, fully utilising the top-in-class CRM system, Salesforce.

At Hilti, we have a passionate and inclusive global team and a caring and performance-driven culture. This means you are part of something special – a place where you can grow, surrounded by colleagues who support you and safe in the knowledge your results will be recognised and rewarded.

• Extensive onboarding & training process and company-wide events in Manchester.

WHAT YOU NEED IS:

Many qualities make an Account Manager, but the following skills and experience would be a good starting point:

• Customer-facing/sales experience gained in any industry.
• Solution-oriented approach – you can uncover customers’ pain points and needs to provide our best-suited solutions.
• You share our values – commitment, teamwork, courage, and integrity.
• Resilience and adaptability – you will be comfortable meeting all levels of customers, from a site operator to managing director.
• Drive – a motivated approach to achieving success and overcoming challenges.
• Curiosity – a passion to learn, develop, and grow.
• Organizational skills – excellent at managing your time and priorities, and able to work autonomously.
• Essential: Full manual UK driving license to visit our customers on site 5 days a week, Monday to Friday. If you have points on your license, please disclose these along with expiry dates.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

We have an excellent mix of people, and some of our best account managers joined us with no experience. So, if you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s fine. Success at Hilti depends on teamwork and ability, regardless of your background.

Please DO NOT apply for multiple roles; the team will assign you where your skills are the best fit.

Click the 'Apply Now' button, upload your CV, and answer a couple of short questions – this process should take around 90 seconds.

SALES ONLY

If you meet the requirements, you'll be invited to complete a fun online assessment and a short pre-recorded video interview. Please check your junk mail for these communications as they may end up there.

If you need support with your application, please contact [emailprotected].

Once in the formal process, there are three stages: a first interview with a Regional Manager, a 'day-in-the-life' field ride, and a final interview with a Sales Director. We will reimburse your travel expenses for these meetings.

If we don’t currently have a suitable role for you, we will keep you in our talent pool for future opportunities and stay in touch.

Hilti values diversity and is an equal opportunity employer, welcoming contributions from all team members regardless of sex, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, or family status.
