• Working towards agreed sales and revenue targets
• Keeping your pipeline and customer activity up to date through the CRM
• Working closely with internal technical and commercial teams to ensure customers receive the right solutions and support

What are we looking for?

This role would suit someone who combines technical understanding with strong commercial and sales ability.

• A proven track record in strategic B2B account management, with experience identifying growth opportunities within existing accounts and developing and delivering action plans that translate those opportunities into measurable sales growth.
• Experience selling into engineering, manufacturing, automation or another technical environment
• The confidence to engage with senior stakeholders and build relationships at multiple levels within an organisation
• The ability to understand technical products or solutions and translate their benefits into commercial value
• A proactive, target-driven approach and genuine enthusiasm for developing new business
• An engineering or technical qualification would be advantageous
• A full UK driving licence

A current passport is also required due to occasional European and international travel.

What’s on offer?

You’ll join an established global organisation that invests heavily in its people, providing comprehensive sales, product and application training both in the classroom and in the field.

The package includes:

• Competitive basic salary
• 25% OTE commission scheme
• Company car
• Private medical cover
