As a Sales Manager, you're someone who leads from the front. You're not sat behind a desk asking why targets haven't been hit. You're amongst the team, mucking in talking to customers, supporting major opportunities and helping people win business. Chances are you've worked your way through the ranks yourself, so when somebody needs guidance, you're able to help because you've been there before. As a Sales Manager, you enjoy seeing people develop. This engineering business is known for its reputation. As a manufacturer of machined components and specialist products used across global energy industries, quality, reliability and service are critical. Their customers trust them because they consistently deliver. You'll already be a Sales Manager used to selling engineered products into complex industries. That might include: Nuclear Power generation Defence Wind Oil and gas OEM You understand what those clients need from a technical partner and your commercial approach will make the difference. This isn't a business that stands still. They're growing, developing and investing in people with energy and drive. You'll be surrounded by a great team, but the impact you make as a Sales Manager will be yours. What they're offering is a space where a skilled Sales Manager can thrive. No micromanagement, no red tape, just the right support behind you to do what you do best. As Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of the sales function as a whole. You'll be looking at the numbers, understanding what's driving performance, keeping an eye on pipeline, supporting key customer relationships and helping shape where the business goes next, all whilst leading and developing the sales team around you. Whilst you'll be responsible for leading the sales team, you'll still stay close to customers. You'll support major opportunities, maintain key strategic relationships and help open doors for the people around you. You'll work closely with the Directors to shape commercial strategy and identify opportunities for future growth. You'll analyse performance, spot trends, identify new markets and help determine where the business should focus its efforts. You're not just focused on this month's figures. You're thinking about where the business can be in twelve months, three years and beyond. The foundations are already there. Long-standing customer relationships. A respected reputation. Customers who trust them. What they're looking for now is a Sales Manager who can build on that and help drive the next stage of growth. Someone who understands how to balance new business generation with account development. Someone who knows when to push for growth and when to protect margin. Someone who recognises that sustainable success comes from building relationships, not just winning orders. The culture here plays a huge part in the success of the business. This isn't an environment built around egos. The team work together. Knowledge is shared. Problems are solved collaboratively. Everyone understands that delivering for customers is a collective responsibility. As Sales Manager, you'll play a key role in protecting and developing that culture whilst continuing to raise standards and support the people around you. Previous experience leading a sales team is important, as is the ability to think commercially, from revenue growth through to profitability and margin. In return, you'll receive a competitive basic salary, commission structure and the opportunity to take ownership of a growing sales function within a specialist manufacturer.

As a Sales Manager, you're someone who leads from the front. You're not sat behind a desk asking why targets haven't been hit. You're amongst the team, mucking in talking to customers, supporting major opportunities and helping people win business. Chances are you've worked your way through the ranks yourself, so when somebody needs guidance, you're able to help because you've been there before. As a Sales Manager, you enjoy seeing people develop. This engineering business is known for its reputation. As a manufacturer of machined components and specialist products used across global energy industries, quality, reliability and service are critical. Their customers trust them because they consistently deliver. You'll already be a Sales Manager used to selling engineered products into complex industries. That might include: Nuclear Power generation Defence Wind Oil and gas OEM You understand what those clients need from a technical partner and your commercial approach will make the difference. This isn't a business that stands still. They're growing, developing and investing in people with energy and drive. You'll be surrounded by a great team, but the impact you make as a Sales Manager will be yours. What they're offering is a space where a skilled Sales Manager can thrive. No micromanagement, no red tape, just the right support behind you to do what you do best. As Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of the sales function as a whole. You'll be looking at the numbers, understanding what's driving performance, keeping an eye on pipeline, supporting key customer relationships and helping shape where the business goes next, all whilst leading and developing the sales team around you. Whilst you'll be responsible for leading the sales team, you'll still stay close to customers. You'll support major opportunities, maintain key strategic relationships and help open doors for the people around you. You'll work closely with the Directors to shape commercial strategy and identify opportunities for future growth. You'll analyse performance, spot trends, identify new markets and help determine where the business should focus its efforts. You're not just focused on this month's figures. You're thinking about where the business can be in twelve months, three years and beyond. The foundations are already there. Long-standing customer relationships. A respected reputation. Customers who trust them. What they're looking for now is a Sales Manager who can build on that and help drive the next stage of growth. Someone who understands how to balance new business generation with account development. Someone who knows when to push for growth and when to protect margin. Someone who recognises that sustainable success comes from building relationships, not just winning orders. The culture here plays a huge part in the success of the business. This isn't an environment built around egos. The team work together. Knowledge is shared. Problems are solved collaboratively. Everyone understands that delivering for customers is a collective responsibility. As Sales Manager, you'll play a key role in protecting and developing that culture whilst continuing to raise standards and support the people around you. Previous experience leading a sales team is important, as is the ability to think commercially, from revenue growth through to profitability and margin. In return, you'll receive a competitive basic salary, commission structure and the opportunity to take ownership of a growing sales function within a specialist manufacturer. This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony - you won't be contacted by any third parties. If you'd like more info or want to talk it through, just drop us a message, tag someone who'd be perfect for this below or send your CV to the email above.
