This is a predominantly field-based role focused on winning new business, developing existing customer relationships and building a strong sales pipeline.

• Providing market and customer insight to support future growth
• Promoting the business and its capabilities through customer visits, networking and industry activity
• Supporting presentations and proposals to prospective and existing customers

About You

• Proven experience within business development, field sales or account management
• Ideally experience selling fasteners within aerospace
• Alternatively, experience within aerospace sales or fastener sales within another sector
• A strong new business mindset with the drive to identify and convert opportunities
• Commercially aware and comfortable working to sales and profitability targets
• Confident building relationships with customers and key decision-makers
• Proactive, organised and comfortable managing your own diary and customer activity
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Full UK driving licence

What's in It for You

• Salary £50,000+ depending on experience
• Up to 15% annual bonus
• Company car
• Pension scheme
• Cashplan scheme following probation
• Company social events and employee benefits
• Opportunity to play a key role in developing and growing the aerospace market
• Predominantly field-based role with autonomy and direct customer exposure

Hours

Friday: 08:30-15:30

Predominantly field based, with one day per week at the Buckinghamshire office and the remainder of the week expected to be customer-facing.
