Job description

Regional Business Manager – South West

Technical Sales | OEM Sales | Business Development

£35,000 – £45,000 Basic | OTE circa £55,000 | Company Car

I'm working in partnership with a globally recognised manufacturer and supplier of electronic components to recruit a Regional Business Manager covering the South West of England.

I'm particularly interested in speaking with ambitious, intelligent and commercially astute sales professionals who have a genuine interest in technology, enjoy understanding how things work and have the drive to develop a successful career in technical field sales.

You don't need to have spent years selling electronic components. In fact, I'd be very interested in speaking with candidates who have built their early careers in technical sales, OEM sales, engineering-related sales or similar environments.

The opportunity

This is a field-based position where you'll be responsible for developing relationships with OEMs, engineers, design teams and purchasing professionals across the South West.

You'll be identifying new business opportunities, developing existing accounts and working closely with customers to understand their technical requirements and introduce suitable solutions.

It's a consultative sales role that requires curiosity, commercial awareness and the confidence to engage with people at different levels within a business.

Who am I looking for?

Someone who is:

• Commercially sharp, ambitious and motivated to succeed.
• Technically curious, with the ability to understand and communicate technical products.
• Experienced in technical sales, ideally selling into OEMs or manufacturing businesses.
• Confident building relationships and identifying new business opportunities.
• Comfortable managing their own territory and working independently.
• Keen to learn, develop and progress within a global organisation.

You could already be working in external sales, or perhaps you're an ambitious internal sales professional with the right technical background looking to take that next step into a field-based role.

A full, clean UK driving licence is essential.

What's on offer?

£35,000 – £45,000 basic salary, OTE circa £55,000, company car and the opportunity to build a long‑term career with a well‑established global business.

I'm not necessarily looking for the finished article. I'm looking for someone with the intelligence, personality, commercial instincts and ambition to become an excellent Regional Business Manager.
