Anybody can enjoy selling, and get a buzz out of the deal. But it’s always much better if you can enjoy learning about the product and industry you are in, and as such rather than be a salesperson, be viewed as an influencer, a trader in audiences, able to connect leading international technology brands with the voices in their industry. And this is exactly what we need, a salesperson alone won’t be able to do this job. We need somebody intelligent and eager to learn, ideally who enjoys technology and science, somebody who can get their head around a varied digital portfolio and really understand what it can offer,  who it can reach, and in turn communicate this articulately. This position will be heading up the sales of a variety of digital products and marketing services reaching on niche scientific audiences across a portfolio of media/advertising brands. Targeting mainly Tier 1 businesses seeking engagement with scientists, technical experts and buyers across the globe. This is a highly consultative B2B media sales role and as such would suit candidates with previous experience of selling brand exposure/lead generation B2B marketing content services such as sponsorship, media and exhibitions. The products you will be selling could vary across branded content,  round tables, webinars, podcasts, data, email campaigns, banner advertising. You will be given a pool of existing clients where you will be targeted on renewals and growth, as well as a pool of previous clients from the past few years where you will be looking to re-book/re-engage their brands for future business, and as well as this you will also be required to target and close new business across set demographics of companies. This is a complex sell, sometimes with long sales cycles, and as such you must be professional, patient, articulate and most importantly willing to learn and get involved within the industries you will represent. This is a fantastic role with many benefits, such as international travel, and a relaxed and friendly working environment. The role is predominantly home based, and as such you will only be expected to attend the office 1 day per week in Cambridge. However there will be trips abroad required, so it may be that once a quarter you would travel to Europe for a tradeshow, and potentially visit the US for a large annual event. Applicants must be hard working self-starters, looking for a position that can offer real stability and great financial rewards. Due to their location this position is commutable from Ely, Peterborough, Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Norwich, Royston, Bedford, St Ives, Huntingdon, Hitchin, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, Chelmsford, London and Ipswich.

We’re working with one of East Anglia’s success stories on a new role to manage sales accounts, as well as contribute to the development of the sales strategy across the business. It’s a fantastic role for a technical salesperson, who enjoys building relationships with OEM’s and  distributors alike and somebody that enjoys international travel, as you will get the opportunity to travel the globe regularly (2-3 weeks per quarter). This role will eventually lead to the management of the UK sales team and candidates of particular interest will be selling components/consumables into OEMs/distribution, or finished products that are of a highly technical nature. As the customers will likely be specialists in their field, you will need the ability to really understand the range and target market so that you can sell against competitors in the field – this will be taught, but a quick understanding of technical products is a must. Whilst experience from a global sales role is preferred, candidates that are coming from international distributor management roles, or UK focused sales roles with distribution experience will also be considered. This is very much a hunter role though, so any applicants must be willing to lead from the front on winning business from new clients/partners. Overview of key duties:

• Develop annual sales strategy
• Strategise quarterly sales & travel plans.
• Identify growth opportunities through new distributors and OEM customers.
• Review individual customers to establish opportunities for added growth/revenue
• Reporting on success/plans to senior management

This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically minded senior salesperson with management experience, and happy to travel overseas to take a role at business with real growth potential. The role will be office based in Ely 3 days per week, working remotely for 2 days so candidates must be able to travel to the Ely office. If this sounds like the next career move for you, please send through your CV and we can have a chat about the role.
