A highly innovative and internationally respected business is seeking to appoint a UK Sales Manager to drive continued growth across the UK market.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded individual who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities and helping customers improve efficiency, performance and profitability through innovative technology and solutions.

Reporting directly to the Commercial Director, the successful candidate will play a leading role in developing new business opportunities whilst supporting and growing an established customer base.

Whilst the business has strong roots within agriculture and fresh produce, this opportunity is about much more than sector knowledge alone. We are looking for someone who can open doors, build trust, create opportunities and ultimately deliver results.

Key responsibilities will include:

* Developing and securing new business opportunities across the UK.

* Building long-term relationships with customers, industry stakeholders and supply chain partners.

* Following up and converting sales leads.

* Negotiating and securing commercial agreements.

* Working closely with existing customers to maximise account performance and customer satisfaction.

* Identifying market trends and commercial opportunities.

* Supporting the development of sales and marketing strategies.

* Maintaining CRM activity and pipeline management.

* Attending industry events, exhibitions and customer meetings throughout the UK.

* Working closely with technical and field support teams to ensure excellent customer service.

Develop new business opportunities.

Communicate effectively.

Manage a sales pipeline.

Deliver commercial results.

If you have a strong sales background and are looking to bring your skills into a progressive and growing sector, we would be delighted to hear from you.

* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

* Self-motivated and capable of working independently.

* Experience using CRM systems.

* Strong organisational and reporting skills.

* Full UK driving licence.

* Willingness to travel extensively throughout the UK.

Knowledge of agriculture, fresh produce, storage technologies or food production would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Why Apply?

This is a genuine opportunity to join a progressive and ambitious business operating at the forefront of innovation within its sector.

You will be selling solutions that deliver measurable value to customers whilst working with a supportive and highly experienced team.

For ambitious sales professionals looking for a role with long-term career potential, autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact, this position offers an excellent platform for success.
