Key Account Manager now required for a well‑established UK manufacturer (£18M) at the forefront of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). Following significant investment in a brand‑new manufacturing hub, the business is seeking a results‑driven professional to manage and grow a long‑standing portfolio of steel panel customers across the UK.
This is a technical, consultative role where you will be expected to know your customers "inside out," balancing high‑level relationship management with commercial precision.
Key Responsibilities
* Act as the primary lead for established key accounts, managing everything from technical requirements to long‑term business goals for a core base of 50 plus clients.
* Work with Finance to negotiate pricing, contracts, and service agreements while protecting margins and profitability.
* Identify "white space" for up‑selling and cross‑selling within your portfolio; deliver persuasive presentations and product demonstrations.
* Partner with Production, Planning, Quality, and Technical teams to ensure bespoke solutions meet strict compliance and delivery standards.
Candidate Requirements
* Ideally, you will come from a Modular, Steel Framing (SFS), or Timber Framing background. Also open to candidates from other sectors provided you have sold a technical construction product.
* Must be comfortable discussing structural specs and applications. Experience with steel insulated panels or similar building envelope systems is a distinct advantage.
* A proven track record of nurturing long‑term partnerships rather than just "closing deals."
* Proactive and self‑motivated to manage a UK‑wide remit, including attending industry events and trade shows.
The Benefits
* Pension: Royal London scheme.
* Healthcare: Private Medical (includes dental/optical).
* Time: 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays.
* Stability: Life Assurance and Gold Standard Workplace Wellbeing accreditation.
