Ready to take ownership of a sales territory and make your mark?
Consortium Professional Recruitment are pleased to be working exclusively with an established and highly respected business to recruit an Area Sales Manager covering North & East Yorkshire. This is an opportunity to inherit an existing customer base while having the freedom to identify new relationships, develop accounts and drive growth across your territory.

As an Area Sales Manager you’ll play a key role in:
- Developing an established portfolio of customer accounts while identifying and winning new business across North & East Yorkshire
- Building trusted, long-term relationships through regular face-to-face customer meetings and a strong understanding of individual business needs

- Negotiating pricing and commercial agreements that support sustainable, mutually beneficial customer relationships
- Managing your territory and sales activity independently while collaborating with internal teams and sharing valuable customer and market insight

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- A proactive, self-motivated approach and the organisation to manage your own diary, priorities and territory effectively
- Experience within electrical, mechanical, plumbing, building products or a related sector would be valuable, but we’re interested in relevant transferable experience too
You don’t need to tick every box to be considered. If you’re commercially minded, enjoy developing customer relationships and can demonstrate the ability to create opportunities, we’d be keen to hear from you.
