You'll be given the autonomy to make a real impact whilst helping shape the future growth of the business.

  • Working closely with Business Development Managers to ensure smooth customer handovers
  • Delivering against sales, retention and growth targets
  • Creating an engaging and motivating team environment
  • Monitoring performance, setting objectives and driving accountability
  • Contributing to strategic business growth initiatives
  • Ensuring exceptional customer experience across the account portfolio

Requirements

We're looking for a commercially astute leader who combines sales expertise with exceptional relationship management skills.

You'll be someone who naturally inspires confidence, enjoys developing people, and has the drive to continually improve results.

Essential Experience

  • Proven leadership experience managing a successful sales, account management, or customer relationship team
  • Strong track record of achieving and exceeding commercial targets
  • Experience managing key customer accounts and developing long-term partnerships
  • Background within the construction, building products, construction supplies, manufacturing, distribution, or related sectors
  • Excellent commercial awareness and negotiation skills
  • Ability to influence, motivate and inspire others
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking capabilities

Personal Attributes

  • Commercially astute, proactive and highly business-focused
  • Driven, resilient and target-focused
  • Professional, credible and relationship-led
  • Practical and sensible approach to leadership
  • Passionate about developing high-performing teams
  • Ambitious with a desire to make a genuine impact and contribute to long-term business growth

Benefits

  • £75,000 - £85,000 basic salary
  • Car allowance - £5k
  • Generous Commission structure
  • Opportunity to shape and influence a growing business

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • 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.
