We are recruiting for a Specification Sales Manager on behalf of a well-established, market-leading manufacturer within the electrical sector.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and developing the N and NW London postcode areas.

This is an established territory that has achieved £2.1m of this year’s £3.6m turnover target, making it a strong and active area with existing relationships to manage, develop and grow, as well as having lots of new business potential.

On offer is a basic salary of up to £55,000, with an OTE guide of around £100,000 per year, plus company car and wider benefits. The current company car is a BMW X3 Hybrid, and the business is moving towards fully electric company cars. Electric car drivers are provided with a charging card, so there is no requirement to have a home charger.

• Responsible for continued sales growth across the N and NW London postcode areas.
• Targeting product specification on Local Authority, Housing Association and other specifier-led projects.
• Building relationships with electrical contractors, architects, new build developers, M&E contractors, installers and distributors.
• Supporting the distribution network, including electrical wholesalers, as the specification specialist for the area.
• Producing territory reports and using the CRM system to record visits, specifications, opportunities and customer activity.

To be considered for this opportunity, you will need to demonstrate:

• Sales experience within the electrical sector, technical products, building products or a similar industry.
• Experience working for a manufacturer, which can include making the move from an electrical wholesaler to a manufacturer within the last 12 months.
• Experience selling into or working closely with electrical wholesalers, distributors, contractors, specifiers, housing associations, local authorities or similar customers.
• Strong territory planning, business development, communication and appointment-setting skills.
• A full UK driving licence and the ability to manage a field-based sales territory.
