Key Account Manager - South | Technical Solutions
Up to £70,000 + Uncapped Commission | £100,000+ OTE
Hybrid / Ashbourne | South UK Territory
This isn't a traditional Key Account Manager role.
We're looking for an engineer first, salesperson second: someone with genuine technical credibility who has moved into sales and can become a trusted adviser to industrial and manufacturing customers.
The opportunity is about getting under the skin of a customer's operation, identifying challenges and future opportunities, and working with Engineering and Applications teams to shape innovative material-movement, technology and automation solutions.
You'll be encouraged to create opportunities, introduce customers to the wider MasterMover product and technology range, and develop forward-thinking solutions rather than simply manage accounts.
The Role
You'll take ownership of key customers and opportunities across the South, combining existing account development with new opportunity creation.
You'll be responsible for:
- Getting on-site and understanding customer operations
- Identifying problems, inefficiencies, automation opportunities and future requirements
- Scoping technically led solutions across innovative products, technology and automation
- Working alongside Engineering and Applications teams to turn customer challenges into engineered solutions
- Developing opportunities from initial discussion through proposal, negotiation and order
- Increasing the breadth and value of solutions within existing customers, including automation-led opportunities
- Building relationships where customers involve you before they've decided exactly what they need

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.
Who We're Looking For
Your background could be in engineering, material handling, intralogistics, automation, robotics, conveyors, capital equipment, machinery, process equipment, controls or another engineered solutions environment.
The exact product isn't the most important thing. Your engineering foundation and ability to understand how things work are.

- Technical Account Manager
You'll need the personality and commercial ability to build and nurture customer relationships, uncover opportunities and confidently progress business through proposal, negotiation and close.

The Opportunity
Up to £70,000 basic salary
£100,000+ OTE
Uncapped commission
Hybrid / field-based | South UK territory
Although the territory covers the South, regular interaction with the Ashbourne, Derbyshire operation is important. We're therefore particularly interested in candidates based within a sensible commuting distance across the East or West Midlands.
If you're succeeding in technical sales but want your next role to give you more autonomy, more engineering depth and the opportunity to shape innovative product, technology and automation solutions for customers, we'd like to hear from you.
