  • Help shape sales processes, targets, and CRM usage
  • Create scripts and set the framework for future sales hires
  • Recruit, train, and manage a small internal sales team
  • Lead daily performance meetings and track KPIs
  • Support product launches, promotions, and pricing initiatives

Proven B2B sales background (ideally in distribution, construction supply or similar) with experience managing customer accounts and converting quotes. Tech-savvy with CRMs, quoting systems, and Excel.

  • Monthly GP performance (individual and team)
  • Reactivated and retained accounts
  • High commission opportunities with significant earning potential
  • The chance to build your own team and shape a high-performing sales department
  • Long-term career progression into a senior commercial leadership role
