[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] are pleased to be representing a market-leading client, who are seeking a high-energy, commercially-minded Sales Account Manager.

  • Attend client meetings, site visits, and industry events where required

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Track Record: You have a background in account management or sales with a history of smashing targets.
  • Technical Edge: Experience in electrical, component-led, manufacturing, or technical sales is a major plus, but not essential.
  • Relationship Experts: You possess the natural ability to connect with people and turn conversations into contracts.
  • Commercial Acumen: You don’t just see clients; you see growth opportunities.
  • Master Negotiator: You are confident when it comes to presenting, negotiating, and closing complex deals.
  • Self-Starters: Highly organised and motivated to manage your own desk and workload effectively.
  • Tech Savvy: Proficient with CRM systems (Salesforce experience advantageous)

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive Pay: £32,000 basic salary with a realistic, uncapped OTE of £40,000.
  • Performance Rewards: Clear quarterly bonus incentives (£2,000) tied directly to your results.
