Head of Sales

Sheffield H/O with Uk and International travel

£Excellent Package

If you're the kind of sales leader who's happiest with one foot in the strategy and one foot still on the road, this one's worth a look!

Elevation Recruitment Group are thrilled to be working with our long-standing client MRMK to recruit this brand new Head of Sales role. This is a truly unique opportunity to join a highly efficient, well-regarded company and lead it through a significant period of its growth journey.

You will have full responsibility for the commercial function, both in the UK and overseas, as part of the Leadership Team driving the company through the next 3-5 years of growth.

Why this suits a player-manager:

• You'll own the commercial function end to end - UK and export, not just oversee it from a distance
• You'll lead the sales team while still being hands-on yourself
• You'll be out visiting distributors regularly, not stuck behind a desk
• You'll shape channel strategy and route to market, then help execute it
• You'll have real input into where the function goes next - this is as much about building as running

What you'll be doing:

• Full ownership of the commercial P&L
• Leading and developing the sales team, building out structure as the function grows
• Driving UK and export sales - OEMs, End Users, Distributors and in-sites
• Strategy development alongside the MD
• Building key customer relationships across Distributors, OEMs and factory end users
• Representing MRMK at exhibitions and in the market

What you'll bring:

• A background in sales leadership - genuinely hands-on, not purely strategic
• Comfortable with a longer, more considered sales process (bespoke products: sample, test, refine)
• Channel strategy / route to market experience
• Experience working with both UK and International customers with a willingness to travel in the UK and Overseas when required.
• Strong commercial instincts - numerate, a good negotiator, comfortable owning a budget
• The energy to both set direction and roll your sleeves up delivering it
