Sales Director / MD Designate

The Managing Director of a highly successful West Country printing house is looking to retire, so he is seeking a candidate with a strong print sales background to learn the ropes of the business while heading up the sales team and continuing to bring in new business.

This is an excellent opportunity, as the company will soon introduce an equity scheme, offering benefits alongside a highly competitive annual salary and other director-level benefits.

This role requires a natural leader who commands respect from senior managers and subordinates alike. The ideal candidate will exude charisma, make a lasting impression, and build deep relationships internally and externally.

Candidates should have an exemplary track record of developing high-performing sales teams, with experience in nurturing teams, reviewing strategies, systems, and performance management criteria.

With a passion for the industry, you will leverage your sector and customer insight to develop new and existing markets. Working closely with the executive board, you will help deliver business objectives aligned with company ethics.

The company seeks a commercially minded individual with the gravitas and intellect to add value to the senior team and contribute to the company's long-term success.
