Job description

Ready to build relationships, win new business and see where it takes you?

Bowers Group are looking for an Export Field Sales Manager to lead sales across a defined region within Europe and the Middle East. Reporting to the Export Sales Manager, you'll combine technical knowledge with commercial drive to grow sales, develop our established distributor network and identify new opportunities for the Bowers Group.

You'll be responsible for developing and managing relationships with distributors across your region, working closely with existing partners to grow their performance while also identifying and developing new distribution channels. You'll have ownership of regional sales and margin targets, using sales data and market insight to spot opportunities, manage your pipeline and help deliver continued business growth.

Building strong relationships with our international customers and distributors will be a key part of the role. You'll provide pre-sales technical support, support enquiries through online product demonstrations and work closely with our Application Engineers, Sales and Customer Support teams to deliver the right solutions.

There's plenty of opportunity to get out and meet customers too. You'll undertake regular international travel for distributor and customer visits, exhibitions and trade shows, working closely with our Marketing team to make sure we get the most from these opportunities.

We're looking for a results-focused sales professional with a proven track record of growing sales through distribution, developing new business and managing commercial relationships. You'll be confident working independently, comfortable negotiating and able to communicate effectively with people at all levels. A sound understanding of Mechanical Engineering is also important, alongside the willingness to develop your technical product knowledge and provide hands-on technical support.

You'll need to be organised, self-motivated and commercially minded, with good sales analysis and reporting skills and the ability to manage your own workload. Other language skills would be an advantage, as would experience working within an international sales environment.

The role is Bradford-based, with regular international travel required. A full UK driving licence is needed for the role.

In return, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of an established international territory, build new business and play an important part in growing Bowers Group's presence across Europe and the Middle East.

Please note that you must have the Right to Work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
