Key Account Manager – Lithium Forklift Trucks (Nationwide)
Package: Competitive salary + Company Car + Bonus
Location: UK – National role
The Opportunity
We are appointing a Key Account Manager to build and grow a nationwide forklift dealer network for a fast-growing lithium forklift truck range .
This is a trade-facing role, selling through established forklift dealers, not end users.
With a strong product, competitive pricing, and serious backing, this is a rare chance to take ownership of a dealer channel from the ground up — with a reward package to match.
Key Responsibilities
* Recruit, appoint, and manage forklift dealers nationwide
* Sell the lithium forklift range to dealer principals and sales managers
* Negotiate dealer terms, margins, and commercial agreements
* Train and support dealer sales teams
* Drive dealer engagement, demo placements, and order intake
* Conduct joint dealer visits and national account support where required
* Act as the commercial link between dealers and internal teams
Ideal Background
* Proven experience in forklift trucks / materials handling / industrial equipment
* Track record in dealer development or forklift industry
* Comfortable operating nationally and independently
* Commercially astute and respected by dealers
Why This Role Stands Out
* Lithium is already moving — not “future tech”
* Clean channel strategy (no end-user conflict)
* Backed by a serious pay package and autonomy
* Opportunity to shape the dealer network, not inherit a broken one
* Working for a strong proven lithium forklift brand
Package & Benefits
* Above-industry base salary
* Bonus / Commission
* Company car
* Full expenses
* Long-term growth opportunity
* Sick pay
* Company pension
* 20 days holiday + bank holidays
* Extra service holiday: 1 additional day for every 2 years of service
