Job Description
Sales Specialist – Distributors
Location: Wellingborough
Sector: Safety Footwear / Product Sales
Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 + Quarterly Bonus (clearly defined) + Benefits
Are you a passionate sales professional who thrives on building relationships, influencing buyers, and growing business? Looking to join a growing company where you can truly make an impact?
We’re recruiting a Sales Specialist to join an established safety footwear manufacturer during an exciting phase of growth and transformation. With investment in new product development and a refreshed structure, this is a unique opportunity to be a key player in shaping the next chapter of the business.
About the Role:
In this hands-on, commercially focused role, you’ll take responsibility for strengthening and growing relationships with UK distributors of safety footwear. These include both front line sales teams and occasionally category managers.
Your goal?
To educate, influence, and inspire distributors to promote and sell safety footwear products over competing brands.
Your Day-to-Day Will Include:
* Building strong, trust-based relationships with distributor sales teams
* Delivering compelling product education and sales support
* Supporting new product launches and presenting to category managers as required
* Assisting with catalogue reviews and tender processes
* Growing existing distributor account sales and identifying new opportunities
* Hitting clear, quarterly KPIs linked to transparent commission structures
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience in selling physical products (not services)
* Commercial awareness of stock, availability, margins, and product features
* Strong relationship-builder and problem-solver
* Excellent communicator with a persuasive edge
* Organised, self-motivated, and driven to succeed
* Able to balance the long game of relationship-building with short-term wins
Experience in the safety footwear or PPE sector is a bonus, but not essential – we’ll teach you what you need to know if you have the right product sales background.
Why Join Us?
* Be part of a growing, ambitious team proud of the products they make and the clients they support
* Work in a business where your impact is visible and recognised
* Supportive, collaborative working culture
* Quarterly bonuses based on clear and achievable goals
* Hybrid working option for the right candidate if living further afield (3 days in-office)
