We're not just hiring a Sales Director. We're looking for a fast-moving go-getter and future Sales Leader who wants to build something special in the North of England.

Following major European expansion, our MR client is establishing a stronger presence across Northern markets. This isn't about filling a seat, it's about building your own territory and progressing to lead the team you help create over time.

In this role, you will own the entire Northern England territory (Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and beyond). As the company continues to grow, you will transition into leading your own sales team. But first, we need someone ready to roll up their sleeves and drive results from day one.

If you've got the track record, the network and the ambition to build your own sales function while aspiring to team leadership, we want to hear from you!

Role responsibilities

• Hunt and win major new accounts across Northern England
• Establish market presence in key Northern cities through relationship building
• Build your network at regional and national industry events
• Present cutting-edge research solutions to decision makers
• Create processes and territory management for sustained growth
• Future responsibility: Recruit and develop your own sales team as we expand

Role Requirements

• Commercial success within UK Market Research (supplier side essential)
• Strong existing network across the industry, North England ideal.
• Experience with Panel / Data Collection / similar companies preferred
• Fast-moving, driven personality and ready to hit the ground running
• Ambitious mindset – you want to build, lead and grow
• Ready to own a territory and make it yours

This isn't just another sales job, it's your chance to establish yourself as the market research leader across Northern England with clear progression to team leadership.

If you're a go-getter with the track record, network, and ambition to build your own sales empire, we want to hear from you.
