You'll inherit a well-established customer base with strong existing relationships, but the real opportunity is to grow that network and deepen engagement through service, insight and strategic partnership.

Full product training and ongoing professional development
Real autonomy, ownership of your territory and genuine career progression opportunities
What You'll Be Doing Managing and developing relationships with trade distribution partners across Northern Ireland
Working closely with branch managers, regional buyers and decision-makers to understand their priorities and deliver solutions
Building business plans and sales strategies that drive revenue and market share
Using CRM and structured account planning to maximise opportunities and monitor performance
Acting as a consultative partner to customers, helping them grow their own sales and profitability
What We're Looking For Field-based account management experience (ideally in B2B, trade, construction or manufacturing environments)
Organised, structured and professional approach to territory planning and customer engagement
Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to create long-term partnerships
Commercial awareness and an understanding of how to deliver value beyond price
A service-focused, consultative sales style with the ambition to develop and progress
