Position Type: Full-time, Permanent
Ready to plug into a global market?
We aren’t looking for a standard account manager who wants to sit at a desk all day. We are looking for a high-energy, autonomous Sales Manager to own and expand our international "Cable" segment.
We manufacture high-quality, technically specified nonwoven materials that keep the world connected. If you’ve ever wanted to be the driving force behind major international supply chains, positioning specialized solutions to top-tier manufacturers of high-voltage, offshore, and subsea cables, this is your arena.
Based out of our Croydon office, this is a standalone, high-impact role reporting directly to the Director. You’ll have full autonomy to hunt new business and manage strategic global accounts.
The Mission (What you’ll actually be doing):
- Own the Strategy: Design and execute the annual sales plan to expand our global market share.
- Hunt & Nurture: Identify new market potentials, map out international OEMs and cable manufacturers, and build rock-solid, long-term commercial relationships.
- Close the Deals: Lead high-level commercial and technical negotiations, from the initial pitch right through to final contracts and pricing strategies.
- Be the Expert: Advise clients on bespoke material solutions, matching our specialized product specs to their complex engineering requirements.
