As Key Account Manager, you will manage a portfolio of customers throughout the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia. The role will be 80% account management, looking after previous customers to ensure that they continue to but their spares and aftermarket from you. The other 20% will be targeting non-customers who are still potentially able to buy spares and aftermarket supplies from you.

The role will be office based in South Yorkshire, but expect to be out on the road 3-4 days per week.

This isn't a particularly technical sale although some knowledge and understanding of mechanical engineering / metals manufacturing or similar will be extremely beneficial.

Your customer base will consist of engineering managers, factory managers, maintenance managers, site managers and general managers. It isn't an "ivory tower" sell ; expect to be in some pretty "mucky" environments.
