This is a true strategic business development role with the freedom to build something substantial. Youll take ownership of identifying the most commercially attractive sectors, geographical regions and target customers across EMEA before creating and executing a focused plan to convert them into long-term, high-value accounts. Rather than simply managing an existing customer base, youll be responsible for creating new opportunities, developing relationships with major industrial organisations and leading complex capital equipment projects from initial engagement through to contract award. The role offers high visibility across the wider group, genuine influence over commercial strategy and the opportunity to make a measurable impact within an ambitious and well-invested organisation.
What Were Looking For:
A proven track record of winning new business within capital equipment, industrial machinery or complex engineered solutions. Experience selling into food processing, industrial gases, process manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, cold-chain, packaging, automation or a related industrial market. Evidence of successfully managing and closing high-value, complex sales cycles. A genuine new-business hunter who can create opportunities rather than wait for leads. The ability to systematically break down a large international territory and focus on the opportunities with the greatest commercial potential. A strategic, analytical and commercially driven approach. Confidence engaging with everyone from engineers and operational teams through to procurement directors and C-suite decision-makers. Strong presentation, negotiation and relationship-building skills. A self-motivated, entrepreneurial and results-driven personality. Willingness to travel throughout Europe for approximately 50% of the role. Fluent written and spoken English, with an additional European language advantageous.
