Area Sales Manager
The Role
Bostik is looking for an Area Sales Manager to join its successful construction team, representing a portfolio of trusted sealants and adhesives used every day across the UK.
Covering a well-established territory across Central England (ideally based around Milton Keynes), you'll work closely with builders' merchants including Jewson, Travis Perkins, independent merchants and buying groups. Your role will focus on developing existing relationships, growing sales and helping customers maximise the success of the Bostik range.
No two days are the same. You'll visit customers across your territory, deliver in-branch trade days, improve point-of-sale displays, support promotional activity alongside Key Account Managers and provide engaging product training to merchant sales teams. You'll also use Salesforce to manage customer activity and plan account development.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
