About XUM Enterprise Ltd
XUM Enterprise Ltd is not your average IT hardware company. Based in Manchester and operating globally, we specialise in laptops, desktops, servers, memory, storage and networking equipment. We source, refurbish and distribute thousands of units every month across Amazon, eBay, Back Market and direct B2B channels while driving the circular economy with sustainable IT solutions.
Our fast-paced, purpose-driven team operates across the UK, UAE, China and Europe, and we are building further into the United States. We run on ISO-aligned systems, WAMITAB and CIWM standards, with industrial refurbishment, international logistics and unique in-house processes that enable us to scale margins and performance.
We are ambitious, disciplined and serious about growth.
This Role Demands More
This is not a routine sales or purchasing position. It is one of the most commercially significant roles at XUM and it requires both experience and ambition.
You will be trusted with large budgets, high-value stock and responsibility for expanding our reach in the United States. You will lead a team, negotiate across global markets and make decisions that directly shape the company's growth.
It will be challenging, fast-moving and results-driven. For the right person, it is also an opportunity to operate at a senior level, prove your capability and achieve recognition and reward on an international stage.
We Believe in Rockstar Hiring
At XUM, we hire exceptional people, not average ones.
We would rather have one world-class specialist who can lead, grow and deliver than three average operators who need direction.
If you already know the markets, have supplier links in place, understand the hardware in detail and want the responsibility to run with it, this is your stage.
The Role
You will take full ownership of laptop and enterprise IT sales and purchasing, from sourcing and negotiation through to building supplier and customer networks worldwide. A key focus will be strengthening and expanding opportunities in the United States while continuing to grow established markets in the UK, EU, UAE and China.
You will manage large budgets, make high-value decisions and lead a small team to consistent results. This is a leadership role in a high-performance environment where you will be expected to anticipate what needs to be done, move decisively and deliver measurable outcomes.
