Job description

Rotherham + regular International travel

Elevation are delighted to be continuing our valued partnership with AMG Chrome in their search for this brand new role European Lead Sales Manager

AMG Chrome has more than 80 years of experience making specialty metals and alloys at its Rotherham site, and is known worldwide for chromium metal and metal powders. Its chrome goes into superalloys that have to perform in extreme heat and punishing environments, from aircraft engines to power generation. As part of AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group, it supplies the aluminium, steel, superalloy, hard-facing, welding and glass industries.

The opportunity

Metals is a relationship business, and this role gives you ownership of some of the most important ones.

The European Lead Sales Manager will lead AMG Chrome's sales across the UK and Europe and the Middle East.

Your customers have ongoing raw material needs and stay loyal to suppliers they trust. Your job is to be that trusted voice: quick on pricing, sharp on priorities, and the first person they call when something needs solving.

You will also lead and support a small internal sales team based in Rotherham.

Much of the day-to-day happens by email, so responsiveness and commercial judgement matter. The real value comes from getting out there, though. About one week a month you'll be on the road and on site with customers, untangling problems and opening doors to new business. You'll also attend key metals conferences, sharing market insight and making sure that when a deal comes up for discussion, you're already in the conversation.

The role

• Lead sales across the UK and Europe, with Middle East coverage as opportunities arise
• Turn pricing enquiries around quickly and confidently, and understand what really drives each customer's decisions
• Build lasting relationships with senior managers, stores teams and procurement
• Visit customers on site to solve problems and uncover new opportunities
• Share market intelligence that keeps AMG Chrome front of mind when contracts come up for review
• Sell flexibly across the product range to customers with regular replacement needs

About you

• A background in metals sales, or a comparable raw materials or industrial environment
• Credibility with customers at every level, from stores through to senior management
• Commercial instincts you can back up in a pricing conversation
• Comfortable with regular overseas travel

Aerospace experience is welcome but not essential. If you know metals and know how to build relationships, we'd like to hear from you.
