Are you wanting to head your own sales division the way that you want?

Do you want to work with a market-leading manufacturer of chemicals and lubricants?

Do you want to grow a division which has been a sleeping giant?

I am working with a market leader that is recruiting a National Sales Manager to head the industrial division of this well known manufacturer and distributor.

Why Apply?

A basic salary of £55,000 - £60,000 with the potential to earn £100,000 with bonuses as you are targeted on profit. Some of the sales team earn more in bonuses than basic salary.

25 days holidays with additional days given every 2 years (capped).

The opportunity to run your own sales division. You will be given the autonomy to build the division and develop the team.

Our client offers a 100-year-plus legacy of innovation, focusing on cutting-edge research, product development, and industry leadership.

Team members work on pioneering projects, shaping the future of the company.

The culture emphasises collaboration, valuing ideas across a diverse and inclusive workforce.

They prioritise employee development, offering a range of learning opportunities and clear pathways for career progression.

Their work has a significant impact, supporting key industries such as automotive, motorsport and aerospace.

A healthy work-life balance is supported with benefits such as flexible working, healthcare options, and well-being programmes.

Committed to sustainability, they integrate responsible practices and community initiatives, aiming to make a positive environmental and social impact.

The role

To summarise, you will be the one responsible for growing the sales of the industrial division.

You will have a small team to manage. However, one of the first jobs will be recruiting another salesperson to take your internal and external team to six in total.

While the brand is synonymous with the automotive industry, it has a good list of industrial customers, and they know that with the right person on board, the growth potential will be excellent.

You will not be somebody who sells on price, though. The company has the potential to save industrial customers tens and even hundreds of thousands of pounds, so they do not take part in a race to the bottom.

You will be comfortable with consultative and solutions selling.

The industries you will be selling into are aerospace, manufacturing, hydraulics, marine, shipping, mining and much more.

If you have the desire to target new customers, the company will provide you with the right product and infrastructure to succeed.

The company are based in Yorkshire, and as you will also be required to manage the internal sales team, it would be ideal if you live within a commutable distance, North Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Greater Manchester, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire & Humberside.

If you have sold into the industrial sector, have a desire to win new business and work for a hugely admired and respected manufacturer, please apply and Stewart Lupton, JSL Solutions - Automotive Aftermarket Recruitment, will be in touch.
