Sales Manager

Are you a driven, hands-on sales leader with a background in manufacturing or engineering? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can make a real commercial impact? If so, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. The Company We’re working with a highly respected, forward-thinking manufacturing business based in Sheffield — one that combines state-of-the-art facilities with serious ambition. Following significant recent investment, this company is in a strong position for growth and is now looking for an exceptional Sales Manager to help drive it forward. This is a business with a track record of success, a culture that values its people, and the infrastructure to support a high-performing sales function. The Role As Sales Manager, you’ll take ownership of a team of five sales professionals and be accountable for delivering outstanding customer service, growing revenue, and winning new business. This isn’t a back-office leadership role — you’ll be hands-on, leading from the front and playing an active part in business development, account management, and securing large-scale opportunities. The sales environment is genuinely varied. With a vast product catalogue, part of the role involves a faster, more transactional sales process — but the business also regularly tenders for significant projects, requiring a more consultative, relationship-led approach. You’ll need to be equally comfortable in both.
