Job of the Week!

My client is at a hugely exciting part of their development, with a market leading product, expanding global client base and a well-deserved reputation for the quality of their customer service and after sales care. To cope with an unprecedented growth in enquiries, they are looking to recruit an experienced and ambitious sales manager to a new role based primarily at their Head Office. Such is their reputation and the groundwork that they have done previously, they develop a significant amount of leads over the course of any given month, either through trade show attendance, web optimisation or other methods of publicity, and they are looking for someone to come in and pick up the vast majority of these enquiries as the basis of their pipeline. You will need to have a background in engineered product sales, as there will be a requirement to gain a good (and quick) understanding of the basic product, its capabilities and the potential for customisation for particular uses or clients; you will have significant involvement with the manufacturing team as well, as you would see the project through from initial enquiry to installation. Although based from the Head Office, you will not be limited as to where your potential clients could be, so this is a role that could involve significant travel opportunities.

Job of the Week!

My client is an outstanding success story having grown from humble beginnings to the market leader in its field in little over a decade. Having said that, there is massive scope for further expansion, in terms of new markets, new products and services and new territories to conquer. As part of these plans, they are now seeking to recruit an experienced and dynamic operational manager to head up their French operation. With a strong understanding of French business culture, gained either as a French national or a dual national with extensive experience of working in France, you will be able to display a track record of success in both long cycle solution sales and business development and operational and staff management. Given that each territory is viewed as a separate profit centre, you will be given free rein to develop the markets and drive turnover within the common group framework. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, with full responsibility for the management of the team of French nationals, this is an outstanding opportunity to develop a long term career in a high profile role.
