Sales Manager – Large Format Printed Graphics

East Midlands

Open DOE Package

We’re working with an established independent print manufacturer in the East Midlands that is looking to appoint an experienced Sales Manager to support the next stage of its growth.

This is a well-invested business with a broad in-house manufacturing capability spanning large format, Litho & Digital Print and Finishing.

With continued investment in its production capabilities, the business is now looking for a commercially driven Sales Manager who can help maximise that capacity, identify new opportunities and drive profitable revenue growth.

The Role

This is very much a hands-on Sales Manager position.

You’ll take responsibility for driving sales performance across the business, working closely with the Directors and wider team to develop existing accounts, identify new markets and create a healthy pipeline of new business.

Responsibilities will include:

• Developing and implementing a clear sales strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth
• Work to realistic sales targets through identifying and targeting new business opportunities across relevant markets
• Personally developing and winning new accounts
• Working closely with production and estimating to ensure commercially viable solutions
• Supporting the team with larger opportunities, pitches and negotiations
• Using the company's extensive in-house manufacturing capabilities to cross-sell
• Providing accurate forecasting and reporting to the Directors
• Keeping abreast of market trends, competitor activity and emerging opportunities

About You

We’re looking for an experienced print sales professional who understands realities of selling manufactured print.

You’ll ideally have experience within one or more of the following: Digital Print - Large Format - POS / Display - Signage

You should be:

• An experienced Sales Manager, Senior BDM or senior print salesperson
• Able to demonstrate a strong track record of winning and developing profitable business
• Technically knowledgeable enough to have credible conversations around print, substrates, production and finishing
• A natural relationship builder who is equally comfortable with existing clients and cold new-business development
• Commercially astute with a good understanding of margins and profitable growth
• Proactive, driven and comfortable working within an independent SME environment
• Someone who leads from the front rather than simply managing from behind a desk

If you’re an experienced print sales professional who enjoys winning business and being close to the manufacturing side of the industry, we’d love to hear from you.
