About Sarginsons Industries Ltd
Sarginsons has developed world-leading technologies in casting simulations and recycled aluminium alloys that will revolutionize the design, performance, and environmental impact of cast aluminium components. These developments have huge potential across industry, but will principally affect the automotive, aerospace, and architectural industries by dramatically improving component weight, mechanical performance, and carbon emissions.
The new technologies are already creating a significant impact at the top end of the automotive market, but the speed and breadth of new developments in automotive, defence, and aerospace industries promise almost unlimited potential for the wider dissemination of Sarginsons' new products. From topologically weight-optimised components, through mega castings and zero carbon alloys, this is a huge opportunity for a dynamic, go-getter to establish themselves and Sarginsons as global market leaders in the £100bn casting industry.
Role Overview
We are seeking a high-powered, technically astute Sales Director to spearhead our commercial growth strategy. This role demands a seasoned professional with deep roots in the aluminium and prototype casting sectors. Working closely with and reporting to the Commercial Director, you will be responsible for identifying, securing, and scaling high-value contract opportunities, translating our unique technical capabilities (such as topological optimization, FEA mapping, and low-pressure/sand casting) into winning commercial propositions for major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Key Responsibilities
· Strategic Business Development: Define, implement, and execute a robust sales strategy to accelerate revenue growth within target sectors (Automotive, Aerospace, Motorsport, etc.).
· Pipeline Management: Own the full sales lifecycle—from initial lead generation and high-level technical presentations to contract negotiation and closing.
· Technical Consultation: Confidently pitch Sarginsons' unique value propositions, specifically explaining the commercial, time-saving, and mass-reduction benefits of our prototype casting validation and FEA data mapping workflows.
· Key Account Management: Maintain and deepen relationships with existing premium accounts, ensuring Sarginsons remains their primary casting and development partner.
· Market Intelligence: Monitor industry trends, competitor movements, and emerging technologies to keep Sarginsons ahead of market demands.
· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Commercial Director, NPI (New Product Introduction), design engineering, and production teams in Coventry to ensure customer requirements are precisely quoted, validated, and delivered.
Required Expertise & Qualifications
· Industry Experience (Essential): Proven track record of high-value business-to-business (B2B) sales specifically within the aluminium casting and prototype casting industries. Applications without direct casting experience will not be considered.
· Technical Proficiency: Ability to read engineering drawings and comfortably discuss technical concepts such as structural lightweighting, topological optimization, tooling parameters, and mechanical properties.
· Network & Credibility: An existing network of contacts within automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, or aerospace procurement is highly advantageous.
· Commercial Acumen: Strong negotiation skills with a history of structuring complex, high-value technical contracts.
· Flexibility & Mobility: While the day-to-day location is flexible, you must possess a full UK driving license and have the absolute willingness and capability to travel to our Coventry headquarters whenever business needs dictate.
