Ready to plug into a global market?
We aren’t looking for a standard account manager who wants to sit at a desk all day. We are looking for a high-energy, autonomous Sales Manager to own and expand our international Cable segment.
We manufacture high-quality, technically specified nonwoven materials that keep the world connected. If you’ve ever wanted to be the driving force behind major international supply chains, positioning specialized solutions to top-tier manufacturers of high-voltage, offshore, and subsea cables, this is your arena.
Based out of our Croydon office, this is a standalone, high-impact role reporting directly to the Director. You’ll have full autonomy to hunt new business and manage strategic global accounts.
The Mission (What you’ll actually be doing):- Own the Strategy:
Design and execute the annual sales plan to expand our global market share. - Hunt & Nurture:
Identify new market potentials, map out international OEMs and cable manufacturers, and build rock-solid, long-term commercial relationships. - Close the Deals:
Lead high-level commercial and technical negotiations, from the initial pitch right through to final contracts and pricing strategies. - Be the Expert:
Advise clients on bespoke material solutions, matching our specialized product specs to their complex engineering requirements.
- Industry Expertise: A minimum of 1 year of dedicated experience in cable sales is required.
- The Right Blend: A degree in Business with a technical mindset, or a Technical/Engineering degree with a sharp commercial edge.
- Proven Track Record:
Several years of experience in international technical sales or business development for industrial products. (If you already know the cable or subsea industry, you're at the top of our list). - An Entrepreneurial Spirit:
This is an individual contributor role. You need to be a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, loves the thrill of the chase, and doesn't need hand-holding. - World-Class Communication:
Flawless English communication skills and the confidence to negotiate with stakeholders globally.
- Base Salary: £50,000 per annum.
- Bonus: A bonus that rewards your direct impact on revenue growth.
- Autonomy:
No micromanagement. You own your pipeline, your strategy, and your results. - Contract Flexibility:
We offer various contract structures and terms tailored to suit your specific level of experience and expertise. - Support:
Backed by a stellar internal Customer Services team to handle order processing and logistics, leaving you free to focus on closing deals.
