Job description

At FG Library, we don’t just supply furniture, we design inspiring library environments that shape communities, support education, and transform spaces across the UK and internationally.

Expect a highly varied role with:

• Regular travel to customer meetings, project sites and stakeholders
• Collaboration with our Northampton HQ, Clerkenwell showroom, and four UK manufacturing sites
• Opportunities to shape library spaces across England and Wales

You’ll inherit a strong, well‑established territory, with an existing pipeline and relationships, alongside the freedom to develop new opportunities and grow the region

• Contribute to strategic sales and marketing initiatives

What We’re Looking For

Personal Attributes

• Commercially driven with a proactive mindset
• Strong communicator with excellent presentation skills
• Able to listen, interpret and respond to client requirements effectively
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Confident working independently and as part of a team
• Enthusiastic, motivated, and adaptable

Experience

• Proven experience in face‑to‑face sales (essential)
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• Experience managing a sales territory and sales pipeline (desirable)
• Background in furniture, interiors, education or public sector sales (desirable)

What We Offer

• Base salary with uncapped commission
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Ongoing training and professional development
• The opportunity to work on meaningful, high‑impact projects across the UK
• Part of a wider group structure, with a well established, loyal and experienced team in all areas
