Job description

Regional Business Manager - Technical Sales

Leicester | Coventry | Northampton | Milton Keynes | Luton | Nottingham | Hertfordshire

Excellent Salary + Bonus + Company Car + Benefits

We're looking for an ambitious, technically minded sales professional to join a highly successful global organisation as a Regional Business Manager.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, developing new business and getting to grips with technical products and applications.

Previous electronics experience is not essential.

What we're really looking for is someone with sales experience, a technical mindset and the drive to take ownership of a busy and commercially important territory.

The Opportunity

You'll manage and develop customers across your region, combining account management with proactive new business development.

Rather than simply selling products, you'll spend time understanding your customers' businesses, applications and technical requirements before working with them to identify the most appropriate solutions.

You'll be responsible for:

• Developing and growing existing customer relationships
• Identifying and winning new business across the territory
• Building relationships with engineers, technical teams, purchasing departments and commercial decision-makers
• Identifying new projects and sales opportunities
• Presenting technical products and solutions
• Managing your own sales pipeline and territory strategy
• Working alongside internal technical specialists
• Developing long-term, commercially valuable customer partnerships

What Are We Looking For?

Your attitude, technical aptitude and sales ability are more important than the specific industry you currently work within.

You could come from engineering, manufacturing, automation, electrical products, industrial equipment, mechanical products, technical distribution, components, OEM sales or another technical B2B environment.

We're particularly interested in people who are commercially driven, technically curious, confident and ambitious.

You'll need to be comfortable developing new business as well as managing existing relationships and be able to communicate confidently with both technical and commercial customers.

Most importantly, you'll have the desire and ability to learn.

Comprehensive product and technical training will be provided, so previous experience within electronic components isn't essential.

Your Territory

The region covers a broad area across the Midlands and Home Counties, including:

Leicester | Coventry | Northampton | Milton Keynes | Luton | Nottingham | Hertfordshire

You'll ideally be based somewhere centrally within the territory and comfortable travelling regularly to meet customers.

Why Join?

You'll be joining an established international manufacturer with a fantastic reputation for innovation, technical expertise and developing its people.

The business provides excellent training and ongoing development, giving you the technical knowledge and support needed to become successful within the role.

At the same time, you'll have the autonomy to manage your own territory, develop customer relationships and build your business.

Excellent salary + bonus + company car + comprehensive benefits.

If you're already succeeding in technical sales - or you're looking for an opportunity to take your technical and commercial experience into a new industry - we’d like to hear from you.
