Area Sales Manager – Electronic Components | North UK
Home & Field Based | Established Accounts + New Business
Salary paying up to £55,000 plus Company Benefits, Commission and Car or Allowance
Are you an experienced electronic components salesperson who wants a territory with something to build from, but plenty still to build?
MRSL Group is supporting an established franchised electronic component distributor looking to strengthen their sales presence across the North of the UK.
This is a replacement position, which means you won't be walking into a completely cold territory.
There are existing customers and accounts to inherit, giving you a foundation from day one. However, these aren't account-maintenance roles. We're looking for people who enjoy business development, getting in front of customers, finding new opportunities, and growing a territory.
What will you be doing?

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.
- Inheriting and developing an existing customer base
- Identifying and winning new OEM and CEM/EMS customers
- Increasing spend and product penetration across existing accounts
- Developing new design-in and commercial opportunities
- Building relationships with Engineering, Purchasing, and Commercial teams
- Managing your own territory, customer visits, and sales pipeline
- Working closely with suppliers and internal technical/commercial teams
Both positions require strong electronic-component market knowledge. Easby's specification specifically calls for component knowledge, business development, and key-account experience, including identifying new accounts, markets, and applications. Rhopoint similarly wants someone capable of developing a structured territory plan, conducting customer visits, and converting new opportunities.
You could currently be an:
- Area Sales Manager
- Regional Sales Manager
- Business Development Manager
- Account Manager
- Field Sales Engineer
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Ideally, you'll already have experience within electronic components, particularly from a Contract Manufacturer or Franchised Distribution environment.
Knowledge across areas such as Interconnect, Passives, Electromechanical, Semiconductors, Power, RF/Wireless, or related component technologies would be of interest.
You're not being asked to build a territory completely from zero, but you're also not being hired simply to look after what's already there.
You'll inherit relationships and revenue while having the freedom and expectation to develop the region further.
If you're successful in electronic component sales and would like to understand more about this opportunity, apply confidentially, and we'll have an initial conversation.
