Do you want to be part of creating a safer world?

You meet Gunnebo in everyday life — at home, in transit and at work. We are present at airports, offices, public spaces, retail environments and transport hubs. Through smart entrance control and safe storage solutions, we help customers create safer, more efficient environments.

If you are looking to start or grow your sales career within a global, supportive and forward-thinking organisation, this could be a great opportunity. Gunnebo is small enough for your contribution to be noticed, and big enough to help you develop your career.

About the role

• Reporting to the Regional Director - UK & Ireland, you will support new business development across the South East, which includes Central London and Home Counties. This area may change and expand as you develop with us
• This is a junior commercial role, so you will not be expected to know everything from day one. You will receive guidance from experienced sales and technical colleagues while learning how to identify opportunities, qualify customer needs and progress sales conversations.

• The role will suit someone who is proactive, curious and comfortable speaking with customers, contractors and partners. You will help build a pipeline of opportunities, follow up enquiries, arrange meetings and gradually take ownership of smaller opportunities as your confidence and experience grows.

• Technical support will be available to help with product selection, solution design and customer meetings. Experience in Entrance Control is not required, although exposure to sales, construction, security, facilities management or similar environments would be useful.

What you will do

• Research and identify potential new customers, projects and contacts within the South East region.
• Support the development of a prospect list, pipeline and simple territory plan.
• Follow up internal enquiries and help qualify whether opportunities are a good fit for Gunnebo.
• Book and attend customer meetings, initially with support from senior sales or technical colleagues.
• Learn how to understand customer requirements, including security, operational and budget considerations.
• Help prepare customer information, basic proposals and presentations with support from the wider team.
• Develop relationships with existing clients and look for appropriate cross-selling opportunities.
• Keep CRM and pipeline information up to date so opportunities are visible and easy to track.
• Stay aware of local projects, market activity and competitor information.
• Share updates, questions and potential issues with your manager early so the team can support you.
• Attend trade shows, exhibitions and customer visits where required.
• Travel daily within the region as part of the role.
