Our client is seeking a driven and experienced Sales Manager to take full ownership of their sales function, with a clear objective to double company sales within two years.
This is a hands-on role within a small, close-knit, technical sales team. You will be instrumental in executing sales strategies, managing and expanding their sales team, and driving revenue growth.
This role is ideal for a self-motivated and ambitious individual who thrives in a dynamic environment, without the infrastructure of large corporate departments. You must be comfortable taking responsibility for all aspects of sales, from strategic planning to execution, while ensuring alignment with company values and goals.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage all sales and business development efforts to achieve aggressive growth targets.
Develop and execute a strategic sales plan to expand our customer base and strengthen market presence.
Take full ownership of the sales function, including reporting, forecasting, and pipeline management.
Directly manage and mentor the internal sales team (currently two people), with a view to expanding.
Identify, establish, and manage distributor agreements to enhance market reach.
Maintain strong relationships with key customers, both in the UK and internationally (USA, Europe, China, etc.).
Attend trade shows, exhibitions, and customer meetings to drive business growth.
What We’re Looking For:
Proven track record in sales leadership, with experience in doubling sales within a two-year period.
Strong business acumen with the ability to take ownership and drive company growth.
Hands-on approach—willing to roll up your sleeves and work collaboratively in a small team.
Strategic thinker with the ability to develop and implement effective sales strategies.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills, able to engage effectively at all levels.
Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, and take responsibility for achieving results.
Technical, electrical or engineering sector experience (desirable, not essential).
Must be based in or willing to commute to Peterborough daily—this is an office-based role (no remote or hybrid working).
