Outrageous growth opportunity with autonomy and huge rewards. We need a hunter to target a specific account base of installers, becoming their suppliers for all things solar. You will manage the accounts: 90% new business in Year 1, evolving into 60% account management.
A well-established German solar brand is targeting £30m in the next five years, currently at £10m. The gap is the opportunity. We’re hiring Sales Managers across three UK regions to help achieve this goal.
- Regions available: South West England, East Anglia, Central England (Midlands & North Wales)
Your target customer installs 200–500 solar systems a year. Get them on board, service them well, and the account manages itself. The hard bit — and the fun bit — is the hunt: 80% new business, 10% account management, with 3-4 days on the road and 1+ day at home.
Revenue target: £3m–£5m per year at full pace.
What’s in it for you:
- £50,000–£60,000 basic salary (negotiable)
- Car allowance (negotiable) + 25p/mile expenses
- Year 1 bonus realistically £10,000–£20,000, growing as your patch builds in Year 2
- Work from home
- Full autonomy over your region — no micromanagement
- Occasional trips to European HQ for training and exhibition
What you need to be:
- Hungry, tenacious, proactive
- Field sales experience in a technical sector — energy, electrical, construction, mechanical would be a bonus
- A relationship builder
- A full UK driving licence
You’ll join a UK team of 10, backed by a ~350-person European business with 30 years of pedigree. Premium product, strong brand, real support. You’ll have visibility, influence, and the chance to build something — not just fill a quota in a faceless organisation.
Process: Video call → Video call possibly face to face. We move fast.
