Own major national accounts. Unlock new opportunities. Build something bigger.

This is an opportunity for a commercially driven sales professional who wants more than simply managing a portfolio of existing customers.

Our client is a highly respected engineering business providing specialist, safety-critical technologies to some of the UK’s best-known retail and commercial organisations. With a strong existing customer base, continued investment and ambitious growth plans, they are looking for a National Sales Manager to take ownership of some of their most important accounts and identify where the next wave of growth will come from.

The opportunity:
You’ll inherit a portfolio of established, high-value national customers - but your role will be to grow them, not simply manage them.

You’ll build relationships across multiple levels of large organisations, understand their wider operational requirements and identify where the company’s solutions can add further value across their estates.

That could mean expanding existing relationships, opening up new sites, introducing additional solutions, winning new business or developing strategic propositions that increase customer spend and strengthen long-term partnerships.

You’ll have the freedom to develop your own account strategies and will work closely with experienced technical and engineering teams who provide the expertise behind the solutions. In return, you’ll be trusted to own the commercial relationship, influence decision-makers and deliver measurable growth.

This is a role for someone who enjoys finding the opportunity behind the opportunity.

The person:

We’re interested in commercially ambitious sales professionals who are naturally curious, proactive and motivated by growth.

You’ll ideally bring:
*A strong track record of managing and growing national or strategic accounts
*Experience identifying and converting new business opportunities
*A consultative, value-led approach to selling
*The commercial confidence to negotiate and influence at senior level
*Experience working with complex or multi-site customers
*The ability to build credible relationships across different stakeholder groups
*The drive and autonomy to identify opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear
Why this role?
*Work with recognised national organisations and genuinely strategic accounts
*You’ll have the freedom to shape account strategy and influence growth
*Join a business with ambitious plans and a strong platform from which to grow
*Work alongside experienced engineering and technical specialists
*A mix of strategic account management, business development, negotiation and relationship building
*A genuine opportunity to develop your career as the business continues to expand
If you’re an ambitious sales professional who wants to own important customer relationships, uncover new commercial opportunities and have a visible impact on business growth, this could be an excellent next step.
