Key Account Manager

Key Account Manager

Northern England & Scotland

Up to £48,500 + Bonus + SUV PHEV + Excellent Benefits

Territory covering Liverpool across to the East Coast, the North of England and Scotland.

If you enjoy developing new markets, identifying opportunities that others overlook and building long-term customer relationships, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

This is not simply a replacement sales role. The business has achieved more than 20% annual growth for the past three years and is looking for someone who can continue that momentum by exploring new sectors, developing new opportunities and helping shape the future direction of the territory.

You'll have the freedom to manage your own diary, develop your own strategy and build the business across multiple markets with the support of a highly successful international organisation.

The Opportunity

You'll be joining one of Europe's leading filtration specialists, supplying products into a wide range of industries including commercial vehicles, agriculture, construction, industrial equipment, manufacturing, process filtration, hydraulics, dust extraction and many other specialist sectors.

The business already has an established customer base, but the real opportunity lies in identifying new markets and developing relationships that generate long-term growth.

This role would suit an ambitious account manager who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and creating opportunities rather than simply maintaining existing accounts.

What You Will Do and What You Will Achieve

• Develop existing customer relationships and identify opportunities for additional growth
• Identify and open new markets where the product range offers potential
• Develop relationships with distributors, OEMs, end users and specialist customers
• Create opportunities within sectors such as commercial vehicle, industrial, manufacturing, hydraulics, agriculture and process filtration
• Work closely with internal teams to deliver solutions that support customer growth
• Monitor market trends and competitor activity to identify new opportunities
• Manage your territory independently and develop strategic account plans
• Support business growth through both new customer acquisition and existing account development

Your success will be measured not only by sales growth but by your ability to develop new markets and create long-term opportunities.

What We're Looking For

We're deliberately keeping an open mind.

You may currently be:

• A commercial vehicle aftermarket salesperson looking for your next step
• An account manager within industrial distribution
• A sales professional from hydraulics, filtration, engineering or technical products
• Someone selling into transport, manufacturing or industrial sectors

Most importantly, you'll bring:

• A proactive approach to business development
• The confidence to identify and pursue new opportunities
• Strong relationship-building skills
• Commercial awareness and curiosity
• The ability to work independently
• The desire to grow both the territory and your own career
• Experience within filtration would be beneficial but is certainly not essential.

What You Get In Return

• up to £48,500 basic salary
• Annual bonus typically worth 5-10% of salary
• SUV plug-in hybrid company vehicle
• 37.5-hour working week
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• A high degree of autonomy
• The opportunity to help shape future growth strategy
• Long-term career development within a growing international business
