  • Attending in-person and video meeting with key decision makers
  • Negotiating contracts and confirming orders
  • Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure success project / order completion.
  • Attending internal team meetings to discuss pipeline opportunities and forecasts.

THE PERSON:

  • Experience within a Business-to-Business field-based Business Development Manager or similar roles, such as Field Sales Executive, Territory Sales Manager or Regional Sales manager
  • Experience within the protective packaging or packaging automation industry is not required, however, any experience of selling to distributors or within a parallel industry would be a significant advantage.
  • Strong sales and business development skills, with a focus on identifying new opportunities.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Experience in contract negotiation and project management
  • Full UK Driving Licence is essential.
