• Qualify and escalate larger or more complex opportunities to senior sales colleagues
• Maintain consistent follow-up across all opportunities to drive pipeline momentum
• Accurately update CRM systems to ensure visibility of pipeline, activity, and progress
• Work closely with Sales Managers and Sector Leads to progress and hand over opportunities
• Share customer insights and market intelligence with the wider sales team

Key Attributes of the Ideal Candidate:

• Previous experience in a sales, BDR, SDR or customer-facing commercial role

• Driven, proactive, and motivated to develop a career in sales
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple opportunities
• Commercial awareness with a focus on results and performance
• Resilient with a positive, high-energy approach
• Background of technical knowledge, particularly of chemistry or chemical engineering would be a significant benefit.

What Success Looks Like:

• Comfortable leading sales conversations across the full sales cycle
• Consistent and disciplined in follow-up activity
• Able to manage high volumes of activity without compromising quality
• Understands when to close independently and when to escalate
• Takes ownership of pipeline, performance, and personal development

Benefits:
