We’re looking for a driven and relationship-focused Key Account Manager to manage and grow a portfolio of customers across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia. You will be joining a global market leader within the industrial machinery sector.

Your customers will include engineering, maintenance, factory, and site managers—so this is a hands-on role where you’ll be comfortable working in practical, industrial environments.

• Proven experience in a similar role (Account Manager, Key Account Manager, Sales Manager, or Business Development Manager) within engineering or manufacturing
• Qualified to HNC level in a technical or business discipline
• Willing and able to travel across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia
• Comfortable using CRM systems
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Commercially astute with a proactive approach to business development
• Excellent relationship-building abilities
• Full UK driving licence

The role will be office based in South Yorkshire if not out with customers. Hybrid working is NOT available.

A full UK driving licence is essential with no more than 6 points and no convictions for drink or drug driving

Due to motor insurance requirements, you MUST be over 25 years of age
