Hybrid working available

Are you a technically minded sales professional looking to take ownership of a diverse product portfolio while working with innovative motor, drive, and linear motion solutions? This is a unique opportunity for a Technical Key Account Manager to join a forward-thinking team that combines targeted sales with end-to-end product management, offering true variety and progression.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for a Technical Key Account Manager to work across a specialist product range, targeting key end-users, and system integrators. This hybrid role blends technical sales with strategic product ownership—giving you the chance to influence product development, build supplier relationships, and shape go-to-market strategy.

You’ll be a product ambassador—engaging directly with both internal stakeholders and external customers. From handling technical enquiries and running product training, to negotiating prices and scoping new opportunities, you’ll play a vital part in expanding market presence and driving growth.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Champion a dedicated portfolio of motors, drives, and linear products
• Handle technical queries and provide product advice at an engineer-to-engineer level
• Develop customer relationships through targeted visits and project-based selling
• Collaborate with suppliers to negotiate pricing and monitor delivery performance
• Identify new market opportunities and support with strategic growth initiatives
• Create product copy, manage online content, and support marketing campaigns
• Work cross-functionally with internal teams to leverage market insights and CRM data
• Attend trade shows and supplier meetings (UK & international travel included)
• Continuously analyse product performance and develop strategies for improvement

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience in a Technical Key Account Manager role (or similar)
• Technical qualification in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or similar)
• Proven ability to understand complex technical products and applications
• A proactive, self-starting mindset with strong commercial awareness
• Prior experience in a technical sales or product management environment (advantageous)
• Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint and CRM/analytical tools
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

What’s in It for You?

• A hybrid role offering real autonomy and variety
• Opportunity to grow into a specialist or strategic leadership role
• Involvement in innovative product development and market expansion
• Annual bonus and company car
• Continuous learning with product training and supplier visits.

This role would suit someone with experience as a Technical Key Account Manager, Product Manager, Sales Engineer, or Applications Engineer.
