Sales Manager; Magnet Expert

Overview

Magnet Expert is a specialist technical and e-commerce business supplying magnetic solutions to industry, manufacturing, education and trade customers across the UK and beyond. Our e-commerce arm, FIRST4

MAGNETS, is one of the UK’s most established magnet retailers, while Magnet Expert supports customers with more technical, consultative solutions.

We’re now looking for a Sales Manager to lead commercial performance across Magnet Expert and FIRST4

MAGNETS. This is not a purely managerial role. We’re looking for someone who leads from the front, commercially sharp, confident on the phone, and comfortable converting technical enquiries into real business.

• You’ll take responsibility for driving sales performance day to day, while leading and developing an established inbound sales team.
• A core part of the role is being personally active in sales:
• Handling and converting high-value and technical enquiries
• Proactively driving ferrous contamination removal and separation solutions
• Supporting customers through consultative, problem-solving sales conversations
• Develop and execute sales and commercial strategy
• Lead, motivate and develop a team of inbound sales executives
• Set the tone for pace, professionalism and commercial urgency
• Ensure enquiries, quotes and opportunities are followed through properly
• Work closely with marketing, operations and product teams to align activity
• Build momentum through both inbound demand and proactive outbound activity

• You’ll likely be someone who:
  Has experience leading sales in a technical, industrial or e-commerce environment
• Is confident selling solutions, not just products
• Enjoys being on the phone and involved in deals personally
• Can balance personal sales performance with team leadership
• Is organised, commercially minded and comfortable being accountable for results
• Experience with magnets, separation systems or industrial equipment is helpful, but not essential, commercial capability and attitude matter most.
