You will be responsible for owning and managing customer and installer relationships in the Southeast in a territory running from East Anglia down to the south-east counties of Kent, Surrey and Sussex and the corresponding areas of East and South London.

What does the role involve?
As a Business Development Manager, you will be the “on the ground” driving force for the growth of the AIM business within the Southeast of England.
