The role

You’ll spend most of your time with customers – figuring out what they’re trying to achieve, solving problems, and turning those conversations into opportunities. It’s a mix of technical sales, account management and business development. Some days it’s pricing and margin work, other days you’re on-site talking through applications and making sure we’re delivering what we promised.

• Provide technical and commercial support from enquiry to after-sales
• Work with customers to create application-specific solutions using our products

• Keep customer relationships healthy and improve satisfaction where needed
• Use CRM to keep pipelines, visit reports and quotes up to date
• Represent the business at industry events, trade fairs and conferences
• Follow Morgan’s Responsible Business Programme in your daily work

Qualifications

• An engineering or materials science background (or similar technical grounding)
• 3–5 years of technical sales experience, ideally in manufacturing or industrial markets
• Strong commercial sense – pricing, margins, budgets, the full picture
• Experience with both direct and indirect sales channels
• The ability to spot opportunities early and move fast on them
• Solid negotiation skills
• Experience selling technical or high‑value added products
• Comfortable talking with engineers, purchasing and senior leaders alike
• Fluent English (Dutch is a bonus)
• Nice to have Dutch language skills
• Experience in carbon, materials, or industrial components
• Exposure to European sales environments
• CRM experience
• Any informal leadership experience – coaching, mentoring, influencing
