Job description
We’re recruiting an experienced Business Development / Account Manager to join a small, established business supplying products into the manufacturing and engineering sector.
The role is predominantly office-based, with opportunities to visit customers across the UK over time.
What does the role involve?
In your first few months, you will receive a thorough induction, spending time in each department of the business.
- You’ll have existing customers to look after and develop, but a key part of the role will also be identifying new opportunities, opening doors and bringing new customers on board.
- This isn’t a heavily scripted sales environment with rigid call targets. We are looking for someone with the drive to succeed who can use their own initiative, build genuine customer relationships and spot commercial opportunities. We have a very diverse product range, meaning you will have a huge scope to sell to a variety of different markets and customers.
