Technical Sales Managers - Why You Should Apply
Diverse Projects, Prestigious Clients: You will work with world-class businesses across multiple sectors, offering genuine variety in your day-to-day. You will lead solution-based sales, have technical conversations with clients, and build a high-level professional network.
You won't be starting from scratch: You will inherit a selection of core customers, giving you time to identify and secure new business in key high-margin sectors. Your role will be split between 60% new business and 40% account management.
Smart Business Development: Opportunity to take a modern approach to minimise unnecessary travelling. While face-to-face meetings will not be off the table when needed or requested by customers, you will not be expected to travel for its own sake, basing yourself at the manufacturing site in Swansea day-to-day.
Mentorship & Growth: The company prides itself on a supportive, people-first culture. You will receive direct mentorship from a director with extensive industry expertise who has held this role previously, alongside opportunities to develop your skills and progress within the business.
