Job Description:

Are you a high-performing sales leader with a strong track record in semiconductor or scientific equipment sales?

We are seeking a commercially driven and strategic sales professional to lead growth for a well-established company specialising in the sales and distribution of cutting-edge technology tools and services. This is a rare opportunity to take the reins of a thriving business, expand its market presence across Europe, and play a central role in its long-term success.

If you are passionate about delivering impactful sales strategies, building trusted customer relationships, and leading high-performing teams, this could be the next major step in your career.

The Company

This UK-based sales and distribution business is highly respected in the scientific equipment sector, supplying advanced solutions to industries including semiconductors, photonics, and optics. Known for its technical excellence, customer-first approach, and innovative mindset, the company is poised for significant expansion. With the right leadership, there is substantial untapped growth potential—both in revenue and in developing the company’s European footprint.

The Role

As Head of Sales, you will take full ownership of the company’s commercial strategy and lead its sales and business development operations. Your focus will be on increasing market share, building scalable sales processes, and delivering sustainable revenue growth. Working closely with the senior leadership team, you’ll also play a key role in shaping the future direction of the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Sales Leadership: Design and implement strategic sales plans that drive growth and exceed performance targets.
• Market Development: Identify and pursue opportunities in emerging technologies and new sectors across Europe.
• Team Management: Lead, mentor, and develop the sales team to achieve high levels of performance and engagement.
• Client Engagement: Build and maintain long-term relationships with strategic accounts to drive retention and customer satisfaction.
• Industry Representation: Act as an ambassador for the company at trade shows, conferences, and industry events.
• Financial Oversight: Contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes to ensure commercial alignment with overall business goals.

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious sales leader with:

• A proven track record in selling scientific equipment or related technologies into the semiconductor, photonics, or aligned markets.
• Consistent success in delivering and exceeding revenue and market growth targets.
• Deep understanding of the industry landscape, including key players, trends, and customer needs.
• Strong leadership capabilities and experience in managing and developing high-performing sales teams.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• A technical degree or relevant scientific/engineering background (preferred).

Why Join?

This is a unique opportunity to take on a pivotal leadership role in a business with a strong reputation and huge untapped potential. You'll be empowered to shape the company’s future, drive real growth in sales turnover, and take your own professional development to the next level. As the company grows, so too will your role and career trajectory.

If you're ready to lead with purpose, grow with ambition, and make a lasting impact in the scientific and semiconductor equipment sector, we want to hear from you.
