Sales Manager - South

Are you someone who is passionate about technical sales, developing customer partnerships, and maximizing long term commercial success? Or perhaps you're earlier in your sales career but bring the right attitude, motivation and hunger to learn?

At Kaimann we're looking for a Sales Manager South to join our commercial team helping us grow our elastomeric insulation solutions across the South of the UK. It's a fantastic opportunity to shape a region, strengthen distributor relationships and play a key role in developing new business opportunities in a growing market

Kaimann, part of Saint-Gobain UK & Ireland is a specialist manufacturer of high-performance elastomeric insulation solutions used across HVAC, refrigeration, industrial, OEM and marine sectors. As part of one of the world's largest and most innovative construction groups, we are home to industry-leading products, technical expertise and a commitment to creating solutions that support a more sustainable built environment.

What we're looking for:

• A motivated sales professional with experience in distribution, contractor or project sales - however, we're also open to individuals without direct industry experience if you bring the right attitude, strong customer focus and willingness to learn
  Strong commercial awareness with the confidence to negotiate, influence and build long-term customer relationships
  Highly organised, adaptable and proactive - able to plan travel, manage your diary and respond to changing customer needs
  Construction or insulation product knowledge is beneficial (but not essential) - what matters most is your motivation, professionalism, communication skills and readiness to develop technical capability through training

What you will be doing:

• Deliver annual revenue targets and grow the region by developing new accounts, project opportunities and long-term partnerships across distributors, merchants, contractors and consultants
  Manage your territory proactively through regular customer visits, account development plans and by influencing specifications to support our elastomeric insulation solutions
  Negotiate annual terms and commercial agreements with key customers, ensuring strong relationships and sustainable business growth
  Record and manage all customer activity, projects and pipeline updates in CRM daily and participate in monthly Area Management meetings to review progress and identify next steps
  Work in line with all company policies and quality standards, contributing to continuous improvement, supporting our sustainability goals and ensuring compliance with health, safety and environmental requirements
