Sales Manager (Manufacturing)
Norfolk-based (Hybrid) | UK remit
No, this isn’t “just another Sales Manager role.”
This one’s got teeth.
We’re working with a well-established global engineering company that needs a strong commercial lead to run its UK sales, BD, and customer team.
No job title inflation here - you’ll be leading a team of 8, owning everything from key accounts to pricing to channel growth. It’s the kind of role where you’re still close to the clients, but strategic enough to shift the dial at board level.
You’ll be backed by a strong operational setup, respected tech, and customers who already trust the brand. Now they need someone who can drive the next phase of growth.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
* Leading a team across sales, BD, inside sales, and customer service
* Owning UK commercial strategy - accounts, channels, pricing, margin
* Working with technical and operations to actually deliver what’s been sold
* Building deeper relationships with key customers and distributors
* Turning noise into pipeline, and pipeline into revenue
What You’ll Need:
* Solid background in B2B technical sales
* Ideally, 10+ years’ experience in industrial or engineered product environments
* Experience leading teams - people, process, and performance
* Confidence in forecasting, pricing, and funnel management
* Ability to simplify complex sales into clear wins
What You’ll Get:
* A strong basic salary of up to £80,000 + a healthy bonus plus some other good benefits/perks
* A high-impact leadership role that’s still hands-on
* The autonomy to shape and run the UK commercial arm
* Great leadership backing and no red tape
* A product you’ll be proud to sell
* A confidential process - handled properly
