Sales Manager (Cable Sector)

Sales Manager (Cable Sector) at Cathay Group

Salary: £50,000 base + performance-related bonus + benefits

Position Type: Full-time, Permanent

Ready to plug into a global market?

We aren’t looking for a standard account manager who wants to sit at a desk all day. We are looking for a high-energy, autonomous Sales Manager to own and expand our international \"Cable\" segment.

We manufacture high-quality, technically specified nonwoven materials that keep the world connected. If you’ve ever wanted to be the driving force behind major international supply chains, positioning specialized solutions to top-tier manufacturers of high-voltage, offshore, and subsea cables, this is your arena.

Based out of our Croydon office, this is a standalone, high-impact role reporting directly to the Director. You’ll have full autonomy to hunt new business and manage strategic global accounts.

The Mission (What you’ll actually be doing):

• Own the Strategy: Design and execute the annual sales plan to expand our global market share.


• Hunt & Nurture: Identify new market potentials, map out international OEMs and cable manufacturers, and build rock-solid, long-term commercial relationships.


• Close the Deals: Lead high-level commercial and technical negotiations, from the initial pitch right through to final contracts and pricing strategies.


• Be the Expert: Advise clients on bespoke material solutions, matching our specialized product specs to their complex engineering requirements.

What you bring to the table:

• Industry Expertise: A minimum of 1 year of dedicated experience in cable sales is required.


• The Right Blend: A degree in Business with a technical mindset, or a Technical/Engineering degree with a sharp commercial edge.


• Proven Track Record: Several years of experience in international technical sales or business development for industrial products. (If you already know the cable or subsea industry, you're at the top of our list).


• An Entrepreneurial Spirit: This is an individual contributor role. You need to be a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, loves the thrill of the chase, and doesn't need hand-holding.


• World-Class Communication: Flawless English communication skills and the confidence to negotiate with stakeholders globally.

What’s in it for you?

• Base Salary: £50,000 per annum.


• Bonus: A bonus that rewards your direct impact on revenue growth.


• Autonomy: No micromanagement. You own your pipeline, your strategy, and your results.


• Contract Flexibility: We offer various contract structures and terms tailored to suit your specific level of experience and expertise.


• Support: Backed by a stellar internal Customer Services team to handle order processing and logistics, leaving you free to focus on closing deals.
