We’re Hiring: International Sales Manager (Technical Equipment)
📍 Location: UK (Manchester-linked hybrid)
✈️ Travel: c. 30–40 % worldwide
💰 Package: c. £55,000 basic + car allowance + 10 % bonus + benefits
🏭 Sector: Industrial instrumentation / technical equipment
We are supporting a long-established manufacturer of specialist inspection equipment that is entering a significant phase of international expansion following a major organisational shift.
This is not a role where you inherit a mature territory. This is a ground-up commercial build, taking a well-regarded technical product into global markets that have barely been touched.
✨ What makes this opportunity stand out:
* A respected product range with strong reputation, but large international markets with minimal historic penetration.
* A brand-new, next-generation flagship product launching in early 2026.
* A genuinely blank canvas across Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia-Pacific.
* A chance to shape the full international dealer strategy with strong backing from senior leadership.
* High visibility, high autonomy, and the ability to make an immediate commercial impact.
* Perfect for someone who enjoys travel, relationships, and building markets rather than maintaining them.
🧭 We are looking for someone who:
* Has experience selling technical or industrial equipment through distributors or dealer networks.
* Is confident building structure where very little currently exists.
* Enjoys learning technical products and demonstrating them in front of customers.
* Is comfortable travelling internationally 1–2 weeks per month.
* Thrives in high-autonomy environments and is motivated by growth, development and market creation.
* Brings energy, resilience and commercial drive; someone who enjoys being “boots on the ground”.
If you are an ambitious international sales professional who wants to build a market, grow a global dealer network, and take a respected product range into new territories, we would love a confidential conversation.
