This is a rare succession opportunity. The current Regional Sales Manager is retiring and will hand over all of his accounts and relationships to you. You'll shadow him, so you get up to speed in a controlled way rather than being thrown in at the deep end. After that, it's your show. You'll run the UK business as a field-based self-starter, selling high-value capital equipment (systems up to £250,000, with a minimum order of £45,000) to end users and OEMs across the whole of the UK. It's a long, consultative sales cycle, and you'll generate your own leads. An in-house project and engineering team will handle all of the technical side. To be considered, you'll need a proven track record of closing high-value capital equipment orders in B2B field sales. You'll also need a good understanding of industrial processes, the drive to work independently, and a willingness to travel nationally. A background in measurement, instrumentation, automation, extrusion, plastics, coatings or the battery/energy sector would be a real advantage. Interested?
