Are you a technically minded sales professional looking to take ownership of a diverse product portfolio while working with innovative motor, drive, and linear motion solutions? This is a unique opportunity for a Technical Key Account Manager to join a forward-thinking team that combines targeted sales with end-to-end product management, offering true variety and progression.
The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a Technical Key Account Manager to work across a specialist product range, targeting key end-users, and system integrators. This hybrid role blends technical sales with strategic product ownership—giving you the chance to influence product development, build supplier relationships, and shape go-to-market strategy.

What You’ll Be Doing:
* Champion a dedicated portfolio of motors, drives, and linear products
* Handle technical queries and provide product advice at an engineer-to-engineer level
* Develop customer relationships through targeted visits and project-based selling
* Collaborate with suppliers to negotiate pricing and monitor delivery performance
* Identify new market opportunities and support with strategic growth initiatives
* Create product copy, manage online content, and support marketing campaigns
* Work cross-functionally with internal teams to leverage market insights and CRM data
* Attend trade shows and supplier meetings (UK & international travel included)
* Continuously analyse product performance and develop strategies for improvement
What You’ll Bring:
* Experience in a Technical Key Account Manager role (or similar)
* Technical qualification in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or similar)
* Proven ability to understand complex technical products and applications
* A proactive, self-starting mindset with strong commercial awareness
* Prior experience in a technical sales or product management environment (advantageous)
* Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint and CRM/analytical tools
* Strong communication and collaboration skills
What’s in It for You?
* A hybrid role offering real autonomy and variety
* Opportunity to grow into a specialist or strategic leadership role
* Involvement in innovative product development and market expansion
* Annual bonus and company car
* Continuous learning with product training and supplier visits.
This role would suit someone with experience as a Technical Key Account Manager, Product Manager, Sales Engineer, or Applications Engineer.
