The posting

About the Role

We’re looking for a Technical Commercial Manager to help us scale Shellworks by building a high-quality pipeline of opportunities in personal care & wellness. This is a broad commercial role for someone who enjoys talking to and managing customer relationships whilst working on technically complex projects. In this role you will need to expertly coordinate with multiple parties internally and externally and creative problem solving, rather than sitting in a known and understood sales process.

Working closely with our founders, commercial director, in-house designers and engineering team, you’ll help turn Shellworks’ commercial signals in new markets into commercial opportunities.

This role is perfect for someone who can combine creative problem solving with commercial focus turning customer insights and market knowledge into measurable results. You’ll have high autonomy, work closely with the leadership team, and the chance to shape how Shellworks enters this new growth stage.

Key Responsibilities

As Technical Commercial Manager at Shellworks, you’ll work in the below areas:

  • Technical Sales & Business Development: Own the full sales cycle for bespoke projects: prospecting, qualification, scoping, proposal, negotiation and close.
  • Build and defend commercial proposals: Own the proposal creation to develop pricing, timelines and technical specifications with engineering, manufacturing and creative support.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as the bridge between the customer and internal teams (engineering, manufacturing, design, materials) ensuring technical feasibility and managing handoff from sales to delivery.
  • Customer Relationship Management: Build long-term relationships with technical buyers, procurement leads and senior decision-makers. Manage key accounts post-sale to identify upsell, renewal and referral opportunities.
  • Strategy & Insights: Provide market and competitive intelligence to inform product development and go-to-market strategy

Must haves - Shellworks values alignment

  • It can be done mindset: Action oriented - moves deals forward rather than waiting for perfect information.
  • A critical problem-solving attitude: you frame problems with hypotheses, solutions and metrics.
  • Master of your craft: you’re genuinely interested in the product, the technology and how things are made as well as your customer’s problems and needs.
  • Ambitious by nature: highly accountable and outcome oriented.
  • We’re singular: Able to work closely and collaboratively with engineering, design, manufacturing and operations teams.
  • Signal > Noise: This role will have high ambiguity due to the long and complex sales cycles. This will require excellent critical thinking skills to move the conversation and company forward.

Ideal experience

  • 3–5 years in technical sales, solutions engineering, or business development in a manufacturing, materials, hardware or deep-tech environment.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering and manufacturing teams.
  • Demonstrated track record of closing complex, bespoke or consultative deals.
  • A degree in science, engineering, or related fields.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
