Drive the growth of a specialist international business. Baseline Recruit is delighted to be partnering with a niche consultancy who support manufacturers worldwide with EU and UK Authorised Representative services for CE and UKCA marked products. Working with clients across engineering, industrial machinery and manufacturing sectors, our client provides an essential regulatory service that enables organisations to place products safely and compliantly onto UK and European markets.
Due to succession planning, we are looking to appoint a commercially focused leader who can work closely with the UK board to build client relationships, develop new business opportunities and help shape the future growth of the organisation.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, you will take ownership of the commercial performance of the business delivering specialist services to an international client base. This is a varied role where relationship building, strategic thinking and business development are as important as operational leadership. You will work closely with existing clients to maximise long-term partnerships while identifying new opportunities to expand services across the UK, Ireland and international markets.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement the company's commercial growth strategy
- Build and maintain relationships with manufacturers, distributors and international clients
- Lead business development, sales and marketing initiatives
- Identify new market opportunities and strategic partnerships
- Oversee key client accounts, renewals and retention activity
- Develop annual sales and marketing plans and monitor performance
- Support commercial proposals, quotations and client onboarding
- Lead a small team, creating a collaborative and customer-focused culture
- Report commercial performance, pipeline activity and business metrics to the Board

Your background could include:
