Key Account Manager (Racking & Storage)

Alexander James Recruiting Ltd.; Manchester; On-site; GBP 42,000 - 70,000; Full time

Job description

Alexander James Recruiting is currently working with a leading supplier of various racking and storage solutions looking to recruit a new Key Account Manager/Area sales person to manage a well-developed customer base across the North West. With a competitive package and scope for growth at a leading solutions provider, this is a great opportunity for a sales professional with experience in the racking industry or experience working with builder’s merchants.

Responsibilities

1. Managing a number of key accounts across the North West predominantly in the builder merchants industry
2. Providing solutions for various racking & shelving products
3. Reading and potentially using AutoCAD to understand layout designs for various size racking projects
4. Ensuring projects run smoothly from start to finish
5. Liaising with an internal team and installations to ensure customer requirements are being met

Requirements

Experience of working within racking & storage previously in a sales capacity is preferred but not essential, as is some form of CAD experience. Our client would also consider an individual from another racking background, such as projects/installations, who is keen to move into a sales/key accounts role. An individual from another background who has experience working with builders merchants may also be considered. Given the vast majority of this position is managing existing accounts, there is no major requirement for a new business type sales person. The role is also taking over from a retiring sales person, so the company ideally wants someone to work with this individual for the first few months, meaning accounts will be passed over. In terms of location, you will ideally be situated across the North West.

Benefits

1. Competitive salary dependent on experience (up to £42,000 depending on experience)
2. Uncapped commission with OTE potential around £50k-£70k achievable
3. Phone & Laptop
4. Company Car
5. 23 days holiday + stat (more can be purchased)
6. Additional company bonuses for long term service

The Company

Operating for nearly 30 years, our client is a provider of various racking & storage solutions. Having had particular success via the builder’s merchants network, they provide various products, including racking & shelving, storage boxes & shop displays. Due to an upcoming retirement, they now require a new Key Account Manager to manage and develop their accounts across the North West.
