Technical Sales Manager

Technical Sales Manager
As Technical Sales Manager, you''ve got the technical knowledge to earn people''s respect, the commercial awareness to spot opportunities and the leadership experience to bring people with you.
You can hold your own in the boardroom.
Then head onto the shop floor and do exactly the same.
This is consultative selling at its best. You''re not selling something from a catalogue. You''re helping customers find the right engineered solution, which is why you''ll probably have experience supplying sectors such as Aerospace, defence, power generation, oil and gas, wind or OEM manufacturing.
As Technical Sales Manager, you''ll lead a team of eight across Key Account Management, Sales Engineering and Sales Administration, while staying close to some of the business''s larger customer relationships.
Some days you''ll be reviewing a long-term agreement.
Other days you''ll be supporting a complex quotation or helping one of your team through a technical customer discussion.
For years, the business has developed people from within.
It''s worked.
Now, with continued growth, they''re looking for an experienced Technical Sales Manager who can bring fresh ideas and hit the ground running.
You''ll report to the Head of Sales & Marketing, who was recently promoted after spending the last ten years building his career within the business. He understands the company inside out and is looking for someone to help drive the next stage of growth alongside him.
You''ll work closely with production, quality and engineering every day, so you''ll fit in best if you''re someone who leaves their ego at the door.
People work hard.
Have a laugh together.
And when things don''t quite go to plan, they find a solution rather than someone to blame.
You''ll be the sort of person who:

• Has built your career selling bespoke engineered products rather than something straight out of a catalogue.
• Is comfortable reading mechanical drawings.
• Has leadership experience and enjoys helping people develop.
• Enjoys technical conversations with customers.
• Understands KPIs and knows how to lead a team towards them.

An HNC in Mechanical Engineering would be useful, but it''s your engineering mindset that will really make the difference.
There''ll be regular customer visits across the UK, occasional exhibitions and some international travel, so you''ll enjoy getting out to see customers.
Because of the industries you''ll be working with, you''ll also need to be a UK national and be Security Cleared.
In return you''ll receive:

• £45,000-£55,000 depending on experience
• Performance bonus
• Monday to Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm with a 1:00pm finish on Friday
• Hybrid working*

*For the first six months you''ll be onsite getting to know the products, the people and the business. After that, you''ll have the flexibility to work from home one or two days a week.
