Job Description

We are seeking a credible, outcomes-driven Sales Manager to lead growth across UK & Ireland for our Process Automation portfolio. This role reports into the Sr. Sales Director Northern Europe, but there will be very close collaboration with the other UK&I PA Sales Manager. This role balances:

A key focus of the role will be to accelerate growth in Midstream LNG, renewable energy, green hydrogen, and other emerging markets by identifying new customer needs, shaping differentiated value propositions, and building a strong pipeline of strategic opportunities.

• Primary focus will be on creative, idea-led growth (new opportunities, whitespace, new vertical plays, competitive displacement, and portfolio expansion)
• Rock-solid account management (customer outcomes, retention, expansion, executive relationships)

while being a visible coach and developer of sales talent — building a high-performing team culture, driving sales excellence, and delivering against orders and growth goals.
