You will inherit a high‑value portfolio and be tasked with expanding it, identifying new opportunities and shaping strategic growth.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and execute account strategies to grow existing national customers, not just manage them.

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities, including opening new sites, introducing additional solutions and winning new contracts.
• Collaborate closely with technical and engineering teams to align solutions with customer requirements.
• Own the commercial relationship, influence decision‑makers and deliver measurable revenue growth.

Required profile

• Proven track record of managing and growing national or strategic accounts.
• Experience identifying, converting and negotiating new business opportunities at senior level.
• Consultative, value‑led selling approach with strong commercial confidence.
• Ability to work autonomously, proactively uncovering opportunities rather than waiting for them.
• Experience with complex, multi‑site customers and building credible relationships across stakeholder groups.

What we offer

• Flexible hybrid working model.
• Competitive salary around £60,000 plus bonus and excellent benefits.
• Opportunity to work with recognised national organisations and strategic accounts.
• Freedom to shape account strategy and influence business growth.
• Collaboration with experienced engineering and technical specialists in a fast‑growing company.
