Heavyweight Commercial Director – Industrial/B2B
Location: Location: Northern-based HQ - regular access required
Salary Package to £200,000 + exec benefits
You’re a heavyweight, high-achieving B2B sales leader. Right now your career is simply not enough to fuel your ambition or personal reward. You are ready to positively disrupt an industry and make a serious name for yourself.
Your talent and skill as a profound expert in developing and winning major corporate partnerships are without question. You are someone with considerable experience in leading teams. You have a relentless drive to win large-scale sales pitches, knowing exactly how to structure business development processes and measures. Your track record is second to none.
Our client is an up-and-coming name in industrial chemicals, composites, and polymers. With revenue heading towards £40m this subsidiary, part of a wider international organisation is transforming the traditional Distributor world within its sector to a more dynamic, fast-paced, value-generative enterprise.
Reporting to the CEO, with a seat on the board, your critical responsibility will be to revolutionise the concept of business development, win new customers, and maintain the highest levels of penetration with existing partnerships, in an environment that is not accustomed to proactive selling. You will love the idea of pioneering unchartered territories, UK and abroad, where business readily exists yet untapped. With a nationwide team under your direction, you’ll bring rigour and discipline, a passion for the drivers that make the numbers jump off the P&L as well as structure and high standards of performance. Above all, your desire is to make a significant impact on the organisation’s commercial objective for high-value growth, and build sustainable long-term revenue-generating partnerships with big-name multi-sector corporates.
You’ll love to deliver at pace. Making decisions independently, often with high-octane commercial wit and creativity. Ambiguity will be naturally comfortable for you. Your communication and personal approach need to be engaging and inspiring at all levels, especially amongst your Board colleagues. To qualify, you’ll need to demonstrate an undisputed track record in big business wins, most preferably within the industrial and B2B sectors, including Distributor management. Strong intellectual curiosity is very much desired. You’ll be a visionary for the long-term future success of the business. This is not a job or a place for the faint-hearted – only the lionhearted and fearless need apply!
