- 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
