  • Manage and develop a small national sales team, providing coaching, mentoring, performance management, and strategic direction.
  • Work collaboratively with technical, engineering, operations, and marketing teams to deliver commercially successful solutions.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and emerging opportunities to maintain a competitive advantage.
  • Prepare sales forecasts, budgets, pipeline reporting, and performance metrics for senior leadership.
  • Represent the business at industry events, exhibitions, and customer meetings.

About You

You will be able to demonstrate:

  • Significant sales leadership experience within electrical infrastructure, power distribution, switchgear, transformers, cable accessories, substations, or related sectors.
  • A successful track record of winning major projects and developing long-term customer relationships.
  • Experience managing national or regional sales teams with a focus on performance and development.
  • Strong commercial acumen with excellent negotiation and influencing skills.
  • The ability to develop strategic sales plans while remaining actively involved in customer-facing activities.
