Job description

Sales Executive

Bradford

£30,000 + Bonus

Are you great on the phone, confident with data, and looking for a sales role without the full end-to-end pressure?

Do you thrive being the first point of contact—turning enquiries into opportunities and keeping a busy sales function running smoothly?

About the Role

A fast-growing manufacturing business in Bradford is looking for a proactive and confident Sales Executive to join their friendly team. This role is perfect for someone with strong internal sales or lead-generation experience—or a commercially minded graduate ready to kick-start their career.

Rather than closing complex deals, you’ll be the engine room behind the sales team : gathering market intelligence, qualifying incoming enquiries, sending out literature and brochures, and ensuring the CRM is always up to date. You’ll help shape the sales pipeline and make sure high-quality opportunities flow through to the wider team.

This is a brilliant stepping-stone into a full sales or marketing role, with plenty of room to grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Research, track and identify new leads through LinkedIn, website enquiries, and industry platforms
• Make first contact with prospects via phone and email, fully qualifying their needs
• Send out brochures, technical literature, and follow up on quotes to maximise conversions
• Keep the CRM accurate, organised and full of valuable information
• Analyse data to spot promising prospects and emerging trends
• Work closely with technical and customer service teams to ensure smooth handovers
• Support the wider team with campaigns, lead‑gen activity and reporting
• Provide regular updates and insights to the Head of Sales

Person Specification

• Experience in Internal Sales, Lead Generation, Business Development, or Marketing, OR a recent graduate with strong commercial instincts
• Confident communicator—comfortable building rapport quickly
• Positive, can‑do attitude with a curious, analytical mindset
• Highly organised with great attention to detail
• Able to work independently while contributing to a close-knit team
• Familiar with LinkedIn, CRM systems, and digital tools
• Ambition to progress into a full sales or marketing role

Benefits

• £30,000 base salary + approx. £5,000 bonus
• Real career progression into sales, business development or marketing
• Exposure to both technical and commercial areas of the business
• Supportive, collaborative environment with ongoing development
