This is a sales-led leadership role with responsibility for driving growth across multiple routes to market, including independent trade customers, national accounts, buying groups and selected strategic channels. The successful candidate will lead a sizeable sales team, strengthen commercial discipline, improve CRM usage and forecasting, and bring greater structure, accountability and performance focus to the commercial function.

We are particularly interested in candidates from B2B distribution, trade supply, merchant channels, building products, industrial products, tools, fixings, KBB, electrical, plumbing/heating or adjacent product-led environments. Product experience is helpful, but the core requirement is experience of leading sales growth through complex B2B channels.
