  • Build strong relationships with key decision makers and stakeholders.
  • Present tailored proposals, negotiate commercial agreements, and secure profitable business.
  • Manage onboarding and account development for newly acquired customers.
  • Maintain CRM accuracy, pipeline visibility, and forecast reporting.
  • Work closely with the operations, procurement, customer service, and commercial teams to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

Requirements

About You

You will ideally have:

  • Experience within packaging, industrial consumables, manufacturing, distribution, or a related B2B environment.
  • A proven track record of delivering new business growth and exceeding sales targets.
  • Strong prospecting, negotiation, and account development skills.
  • Experience using CRM systems and sales analytics tools.
  • Commercial awareness, resilience, and a self-motivated approach.
  • A full UK driving licence.

Benefits

What's in it for You?

  • Join a business at an exciting stage in its growth, with significant investment and ambition.
  • Genuine autonomy to develop your territory and build your own customer base.
  • Competitive salary, uncapped earnings potential, company car / car allowance, pension, laptop and mobile phone.
  • Ongoing training, support, and career development opportunities.
  • A culture built around integrity, collaboration, trust, and long-term success.

Ready for Your Next Challenge?

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a growing business with ambitious plans, strong leadership, and the backing to support your success.
