Whether you're already working in internal sales, account management or a customer-facing sales environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You'll play an active role in driving sales growth, developing existing accounts, identifying new opportunities and helping customers find the right products and solutions.

Working closely with an experienced sales team, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of customer relationships and contribute directly to the success of the business.

• Managing customer information and sales activity through the CRM system.
• Working towards individual and team sales targets.
• Collaborating with colleagues to ensure customers receive an excellent service.

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience in internal sales, account management or a customer-facing commercial role.
• Confidence speaking with customers over the telephone and via email.
• A proactive approach to developing business rather than simply waiting for enquiries.
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Experience using CRM systems and Microsoft Office.
• The ability to learn new products quickly and communicate their benefits.
• A collaborative, enthusiastic and customer-focused approach.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with commercial curiosity, resilience and the confidence to pick up the phone and create opportunities.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You’ll be joining an established business where customer relationships, product knowledge and proactive selling are genuinely valued.

This role offers the opportunity to develop your sales skills, build long‑term customer partnerships and make a visible contribution to business growth.

If you’re looking for a position where you can combine customer relationships with proactive sales activity, this could be an excellent next step.
