Technical Sales Manager Northamptonshire £55,000 to £70,000 Let’s cut to the chase – we’re looking for a Technical Sales Manager who can do more than just talk a good game. You’ll be the face of our client's business, driving sales growth and building rock-solid relationships across the board. If you’re not afraid of a bit of travel, can think on your feet, and have a knack for making things happen, this might just be your perfect role. The Role • Own your portfolio. We want you to build it, nurture it, and make it thrive. You’ll be the go-to person for key accounts, handling everything from service reviews to SLA negotiations. • We’re all about growth. That means prospecting new business, building relationships, and closing deals – all while keeping an eye on profitability. • Be our product expert. Know our range inside out, and help the technical team develop new stuff that blows our competitors out of the water. • Market savvy? Good. You’ll be collecting intel from customers and feeding it back to our product teams, ensuring we stay one step ahead. • Turn up, suit up, and show up. From trade shows to retail events, you’ll be out there championing our brand and making connections that matter. The Must-Haves • Proven track record in sales or account management, ideally within the bakery ingredients sector. • Brilliant communicator and top-tier negotiator. You’ve got to be good with people – all kinds of people. • Solid grasp of MS Office. If you can’t whip up a spreadsheet or knock out a killer presentation, this might not be for you. • You’re self-motivated, professional, and organised – no one will need to chase you. • Full UK driving license and a willingness to travel. The role isn’t desk-bound, so get ready to hit the road. The Nice-to-Haves • Experience working with National Accounts? Perfect. • Know your way around market research? Even better. This isn’t just another sales job. It’s a chance to shape the future of a historical family business and make your mark. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and let’s make things happen.
