An established, engineering led manufacturer is looking to appoint a Technical Sales Manager to help drive growth across global markets. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, close knit team where you’ll have real influence, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to run your own patch.



This is a highly autonomous role with no staff management responsibilities. You’ll be trusted to manage your own time, customers, and workload, focusing purely on delivering commercial results rather than people management or internal politics.



The Role



As Technical Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing new business, re-engaging lapsed customers, and strengthening existing relationships worldwide. You’ll represent the business professionally at client sites, exhibitions, and industry events, acting as a trusted technical and commercial partner.



This is a genuinely global role, with international travel typically planned well in advance and averaging around one overseas trip per month. Travel is structured and organised - never dropped on you last minute — allowing you to plan effectively and maintain balance.
