Smiths Detection is a global authority on the application, management and manufacture of world class detection and screening technology. Every minute of every day, our detection and screening technology helps to protect people and infrastructure, making the world a safer place.

Our goal is simple – to provide the security, peace of mind and freedom of movement upon which the world depends. We deliver the solutions needed to protect society from the threat and illegal passage of explosives, prohibitive weapons, contraband, toxic chemicals and narcotics.

We are hiring a Global Spares and Consumables Manager to lead the definition, development, pricing, and commercialisation of our spares and consumables portfolio across all product lines.

This high impact, strategic role is ideal for an experienced professional who thrives on delivering aftermarket growth, creating new revenue streams, and enhancing customer experience in a global B2B/B2G environment.

What you’ll do:

• Drive global commercial strategy for spare parts and consumables in partnership with regional sales, marketing, and service teams.
• Analyse global markets and internal data to develop pricing strategies that balance revenue, margin, and market share.
• Launch innovative spares and consumables offerings aligned with product lifecycle management and aftermarket growth.
• Oversee global price management, ensuring systems (SAP, ServiceMax) are accurate, and supporting tools and collateral are up-to-date.
• Deliver strategic projects focused on increasing profitability, customer satisfaction, and service competitiveness.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to address underperforming categories and identify new growth opportunities.
• Ensure compliance with external price control regulations and internal reporting standards.

What we’re looking for:

• A proven background in spare parts management or aftermarket sales within an OEM environment.
• Graduate qualification in business or a technical discipline; a Master’s degree is preferred.
• Strong understanding of global aftermarket operations, pricing methodologies, and ERP systems (SAP essential).
• Commercial and strategic acumen with experience in developing and executing business plans.
• Hands-on approach with a track record of innovation and delivering new service or parts offerings to market.
• Experience in managing multi-region product portfolios and influencing cross-functional teams.
• Fluent English communication skills; additional languages are a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a globally recognised leader in detection and screening technologies.
• Shape the future of our global spares and consumables business with autonomy and influence.
• Work alongside talented colleagues in a supportive, purpose-driven organisation committed to innovation and excellence.
• Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible working, and opportunities for international career growth.
