Sales Manager (UK & Ireland)

Capital Equipment | Food Processing & Automation
Home-Based | £60K - £80K (DOE) + Commission + Car/Allowance

High-value sales. Complex solutions. Real influence.

If you've built your career selling capital equipment or automated machinery into food manufacturing, you'll know this isn't about shifting products - it's about solving problems, building trust, and winning long-cycle, high-value projects.

This opportunity puts you at the front of that.

You'll be joining a global OEM with a strong UK presence and international manufacturing capability, delivering cutting-edge automated food processing solutions into some of the most demanding production environments.

The Role

This is a strategic, high-impact sales position covering the UK & Ireland.

You'll take ownership of the full sales lifecycle, from identifying opportunities through to closing complex, high-value deals, while building long-term partnerships with key customers.

This is not a transactional role.
It's about consultative selling, technical credibility, and commercial ownership.

What You'll Be Doing

* Winning new business within food manufacturing and processing environments

* Building and managing a strong pipeline of capital equipment projects

* Developing and growing key accounts, identifying repeat and expansion opportunities

* Engaging with Engineering, Production, Operations and senior leadership teams

* Leading a consultative sales approach, understanding challenges and proposing tailored solutions

* Managing long-cycle, high-value projects from concept through to contract

* Leading commercial negotiations, pricing strategy, and contract agreements

* Working closely with internal engineering and project teams to ensure successful delivery

What We're Looking For

You'll already understand what it takes to succeed in this space.

* Proven track record in capital equipment / machinery sales (ideally food or FMCG)

* Strong experience in new business development and key account management

* Comfortable selling high-value, technically complex solutions

* Strong commercial awareness - margins, ROI, deal structuring

* Confident dealing with senior stakeholders and decision-makers

* A consultative, solutions-led approach - not just order taking

* Strong negotiation and closing skills in long sales cycles

What's On Offer

* £60,000 - £80,000 basic salary (depending on experience)

* Uncapped commission on equipment sales

* Company car or car allowance

* Home-based role with autonomy

* Opportunity to represent a well-established, technically strong OEM

* Exposure to high-value, consultative sales projects

* Clear opportunity to make a direct commercial impact

Why This Role Stands Out

* You're not selling a commodity, you're selling engineered solutions that matter

* You'll have the freedom to develop your territory properly

* You'll be backed by a business with real engineering capability and global reach

* Every deal is meaningful - high value, technically engaging, and commercially rewarding

If you're currently selling capital equipment and feel like you're capable of more - more ownership, more value, more reward - this is the kind of role that gives you that platform. Apply Today
