About the role
INTERNAL SALES MANAGER
Up to £47k (base + annual profit sharing) | Greater Edinburgh | Flexible hours (8–5 or 7:30–4:30) | Office-based
What's in it for you: Your first sales leadership role — the step up your current merchant role isn't offering Up to £47k: £37k base plus an annual profit sharing bonus worth circa £10k Deputise for the General Manager — real decisions, real authority, from day one Shape how a sales team sells — your standards, your example, your influence A multi-brand group with a genuine track record of promoting its own people The role: You already know the moment. The account you grew from nothing, the order nobody else would have won, the customer who asks for you by name. What's missing in your current role is anyone noticing — and anywhere for it to lead. This is where it leads. You'll take charge of your own portfolio and show a team of 3–4 what proactive selling looks like: growing wallet share in established accounts, building a new business pipeline, and delivering the numbers the rest of the team aspires to. You'll teach, mentor and guide — and when the General Manager is away, the branch decisions are yours.
This is a rare thing in merchant sales: an internal sales manager role where you lead from the front, not from behind a reporting pack.
About You: You're a proactive internal sales or account management professional from a builders merchant or construction distribution background. You know how the trade counter and account book actually work, you develop accounts rather than administer them, and you've outgrown the role you're in.
Our client is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds. They are committed to building a diverse, inclusive workforce and actively promote equality and belonging across their business. TPBN1_UKTJ
