The Role

You’ll drive the UK go-to-market strategy, overseeing everything from customer development to supply chain and logistics. Initially, you’ll lead operations directly, becoming the main point of contact for key accounts, with the potential to scale and manage a team as the business grows.

• Supply Chain Operations: Set up and manage warehousing, transport, and logistics.
• Customer & Commercial Development: Own relationships with large accounts and central purchasing teams; educate customers on product performance, end-use benefits, and sustainability impact; lead contract negotiations covering pricing, delivery terms, and cooperation agreements.
• Team & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with global teams (Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Product); define UK team structure and lead recruitment planning as operations grow; foster a collaborative, high-performance team environment.
• Sales & Performance Reporting: Track UK performance metrics, revenue, and profitability; lead forecasting and support wider strategic planning with accurate insights.

What We’re Looking For

Experience & Skills

• 5+ years in B2B sales, key account management, or business development.
• Experience launching new products or markets, ideally with supply chain exposure.
• Background in chemicals, fuels, energy, or related technical sectors.
• Skilled negotiator with strong commercial and logistical understanding.
• Experience working with SMEs and larger corporate structures.

Attributes

• Strategic and entrepreneurial mindset.
• Proactive, solutions-focused, and customer-oriented.
• Strong communicator and relationship builder.
• Confident navigating international environments and priorities.

Location: UK-based (flexible, with expected travel)

Salary: £70,000–£80,000, depending on experience

Bonus: Annual performance-based bonus

Benefits

• Pension scheme
• Private medical insurance
