This isn't a traditional sales role we're looking for someone who understands what happens after the customer places an order from RFQ and quotation through Engineering, NPI, Planning, Production, Supply Chain, Quality and ultimately delivery. - This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of important customer relationships within a specialist aerospace manufacturing business. - Rather than simply managing a sales pipeline, you'll be at the center of the relationship between the customer and manufacturing operation understanding their requirements, influencing internal priorities, resolving problems and ensuring commercial and delivery commitments are achieved. - You'll have visibility across the complete product lifecycle, from RFQ and NPI through to rate production and delivery, working closely with senior stakeholders both internally and externally. - Remember: You should never send money to a prospective employer or disclose any financial information. xiskglj Should you encounter any job listings requesting payments or financial details, please reach out to us immediately.
