• An established network within the commercial and industrial markets across the Midlands or North of England.
• A demonstrated track record of delivering profitable sales growth.
• The ability to build effective relationships at all levels within customer organisations.
• Strong presentation and influencing skills.

We are looking for an experienced and driven Business Development / Key Account Manager to develop new business opportunities while growing and strengthening strategic relationships across a diverse customer base.

The successful candidate will act primarily as the commercial interface between MEMS and key customers, taking the time to understand each customer’s individual project requirements and applications where temporary power solutions are required.

• Identifying and developing new opportunities with key target companies to encourage repeat business.
