• Developing and growing a portfolio of key customers while identifying new business opportunities across your territory.
• Building strong, long-term customer relationships, becoming a trusted partner and advisor.
• Delivering sales growth through effective account planning, forecasting and commercial decision-making.
• Using customer and market insights to identify opportunities, manage pricing and stay ahead of competitor activity.
• Presenting compelling solutions tailored to customer needs and business objectives.
• Resolving customer challenges quickly and professionally, ensuring an outstanding customer experience.
• Working closely with colleagues across sales, marketing and the wider business to deliver successful campaigns and support continued growth.
• Maintaining customer coverage across Northern Ireland through regular account visits, business development activity and relationship management to support continued growth within the region.

Qualifications

• A track record of achieving and exceeding sales targets.
• Strong planning, forecasting and pipeline management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams.

• The flexibility and willingness to travel regularly throughout the North West and Northern Ireland, including air travel and occasional overnight stays.

Requirements

• Knowledge of the tap and shower market (desirable).
• Technical product knowledge within a related industry (desirable).

Working Arrangements

This is a territory-based role with regular customer visits across your assigned region, so our ideal candidate will be located in the North West area. Home-based working, overnight travel and customer visits will form part of the role. The territory also includes responsibility for customer coverage across Northern Ireland. As such, regular travel to Northern Ireland, including flights and overnight stays where required, is an essential part of the role.
