Sales and Marketing Executive | £35,000 - £40,000 DOE | Leeds

We are searching for a commercially minded Sales & Marketing Executive to join an established manufacturer of specialist technical products. This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to a sales function, building strong partner relationships and turning technical information into clear, effective commercial and marketing activity.

• £35,000 - £40,000
  , Dependent on Experience
• Enhanced Employer pension contributions matched up to 6%.
• 23 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays.
• Support for professional development and relevant paid courses.
• The opportunity to shape sales and marketing processes within a stable, long-established business.

• Work with technical, design and product development colleagues to create and maintain datasheets, manuals, brochures and product training materials.
• Gather and report customer, competitor and market intelligence to support commercial decision-making.
• Establish and maintain effective sales and marketing processes, procedures and supporting documentation.

• Prior experience in a sales, marketing, or commercially focused role, ideally within a manufacturing, engineering, or technical environment.
• Experience working with distributors, resellers, or channel partners.
• Confidence in interpreting technical product information and presenting it clearly to commercial partners and prospects.
• A strong understanding of customer relationship management, sales processes and pipeline administration.
• Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Good working knowledge of CRM and ERP systems, Microsoft Office and Excel; experience with Sage 200 would be advantageous.
