About You
*Proven experience within business development, field sales or account management
*Ideally experience selling fasteners within aerospace
*Alternatively, experience within aerospace sales or fastener sales within another sector
*A strong new business mindset with the drive to identify and convert opportunities
*Commercially aware and comfortable working to sales and profitability targets
*Confident building relationships with customers and key decision-makers
*Proactive, organised and comfortable managing your own diary and customer activity
