Description
Field-based Technical Sales Manager needed to drive Deister's access control business by combining strong commercial instincts with deep product and technical expertise. You will work closely with installers, integrators, consultants, and end-user organizations to specify, demonstrate, and sell our access control and identification solutions — acting as the technical authority who can translate complex product capability into a compelling, workable solution for the customer.
For almost 40 years, Deister has been at the forefront of the UK security sector. As a specialist design and manufacturing company based in Lincolnshire, we develop class-leading solutions trusted across critical infrastructure and industry — from intelligent key and asset management to GovPass-compliant access control and long-range vehicle identification. We are an independent, family-owned business with global reach, built on innovation, value engineering, and trust.
What you will be doing
- Driving sales of Deister's access control product range by pairing technical expertise with a consultative sales approach
- Providing pre-sales technical support, including system design input, product demonstrations, and proof-of-concept trials
- Working closely with installers, integrators, consultants, and end-user organizations to specify the right solution for their security requirements
- Translating product features and system architecture into clear, customer-facing value propositions
- Delivering technical training and CPD presentations to installers, specifiers, and consultants
- Supporting tender and specification processes with technical documentation, schematics, and product recommendations
- Building strong relationships with key technical and commercial stakeholders across the supply chain
- Working closely with product management and engineering teams to relay customer feedback and market requirements
- Maintaining accurate CRM records and forecasting to support pipeline management
