• Develop and implement marketing strategies to drive valve sales, working closely with our in-house marketing team.
• Identify and secure new clients and accounts to support continued sales growth.
• Influence product development and innovation by providing valuable client feedback and market insight.

• Our ideal candidate will have proven experience in building, growing and maintaining global distribution networks.
• Demonstrable day-to-day management experience, with the ability to develop customer service and internal teams to ensure service levels consistently exceed customer expectations.
• Hands-on experience in managing, developing and optimising CRM systems.
• A strong background in technical or mechanical sales within the oil and gas industry.

We offer a very attractive salary and fringe benefits package commensurate with this challenging role.
