Key Account Manager

Key Account Manager

Northern England & Scotland

Up to £48,500 + Bonus + SUV PHEV + Excellent Benefits

Territory covering Liverpool across to the East Coast, the North of England and Scotland.

If you enjoy developing new markets, identifying opportunities that others overlook and building long-term customer relationships, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

This is not simply a replacement sales role. The business has achieved more than 20% annual growth for the past three years and is looking for someone who can continue that momentum by exploring new sectors, developing new opportunities and helping shape the future direction of the territory.

You'll have the freedom to manage your own diary, develop your own strategy and build the business across multiple markets with the support of a highly successful international organisation.

The Opportunity

You'll be joining one of Europe's leading filtration specialists, supplying products into a wide range of industries including commercial vehicles, agriculture, construction, industrial equipment, manufacturing, process filtration, hydraulics, dust extraction and many other specialist sectors.

The business already has an established customer base, but the real opportunity lies in identifying new markets and developing relationships that generate long-term growth.

This role would suit an ambitious account manager who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and creating opportunities rather than simply maintaining existing accounts.

What You Will Do and What You Will Achieve

Develop existing customer relationships and identify opportunities for additional growth

Identify and open new markets where the product range offers potential

Develop relationships with distributors, OEMs, end users and specialist customers

Create opportunities within sectors such as commercial vehicle, industrial, manufacturing, hydraulics, agriculture and process filtration

Work closely with internal teams to deliver solutions that support customer growth

Monitor market trends and competitor activity to identify new opportunities

Manage your territory independently and develop strategic account plans

Support business growth through both new customer acquisition and existing account development

Your success will be measured not only by sales growth but by your ability to develop new markets and create long-term opportunities.

What We're Looking For

We're deliberately keeping an open mind.

You may currently be

A commercial vehicle aftermarket salesperson looking for your next step

An account manager within industrial distribution

A sales professional from hydraulics, filtration, engineering or technical products

Someone selling into transport, manufacturing or industrial sectors

Most importantly, you'll bring

A proactive approach to business development

The confidence to identify and pursue new opportunities

Strong relationship-building skills

Commercial awareness and curiosity

The ability to work independently

The desire to grow both the territory and your own career

Experience within filtration would be beneficial but is certainly not essential.

What You Get In Return

up to £48,500 basic salary

Annual bonus typically worth 5-10% of salary

SUV plug-in hybrid company vehicle

37.5-hour working week

25 days holiday plus bank holidays

Company pension scheme

A high degree of autonomy

The opportunity to help shape future growth strategy

Long-term career development within a growing international business
