We are partnering with a premium, design-led brand operating within the high-end aquatics and lifestyle space, now looking to hire a Sales Manager to build and scale their presence across the UK.

This is a unique opportunity for a commercially driven, entrepreneurial sales professional to take ownership of a market, drive new business, and play a key role in the company’s national and international growth strategy across Europe and the Middle East.

As Sales Manager, you will be responsible for developing the UK market, identifying opportunities, winning new business, and building long-term client relationships across premium sectors.

Key Responsibilities:

As a sales manager you will…

  • Drive new business development across the UK market

  • Identify and secure partnerships with key clients (e.g. hospitality, developers, designers, commercial projects)

  • Build and manage a strong sales pipeline

  • Develop relationships with architects, designers, and decision-makers in high-end projects

  • Represent the brand in a professional, consultative manner aligned with a premium offering

  • Negotiate commercial terms and close high-value deals

  • Provide market insights to support product positioning and growth strategy

  • Support longer-term expansion into Europe and the Middle East

What you will bring:

As a sales manager you will need…

  • 3–8+ years’ experience in B2B sales / business development

  • Proven track record of winning new business and hitting targets

  • Experience selling premium / high-value products or solutions

  • Background in one or more of the following is highly desirable, but not essential:

  • Aquatics / pools / marine

  • Luxury lifestyle or outdoor living

  • Hospitality or wellness sectors

  • Architectural / design-led products

  • Entrepreneurial mindset – comfortable building a market from scratch

  • Strong commercial expertise and negotiation skills

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building ability

  • Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and high-end clients

  • Highly driven, proactive, and results-focused

  • Interest in international markets and growth

Why Join?

As a sales manager you will get…

  • The opportunity to own and build a UK market

  • Every project is custom-built, so no repeat sales cycle

  • Work with a premium, growing brand in a niche, high-value sector

  • High level of autonomy and impact

  • Being apart of a leading company in engineering and innovation and refined craftsmanship

  • Strong earning potential

If you’re driven to succeed in a premium, niche market and want to play a key role in shaping the growth of a high-end brand, we’d love to hear from you.
