About the Role

Sales Manager | North

£45,000 - £55,000 Basic + Bonus + Company Vehicle/Car Allowance + Benefits

Looking for a sales role where you can genuinely influence the direction of a growing business?

This isn't a traditional territory sales position.

Instead, you'll be responsible for developing commercial opportunities across a well-established accident repair, bodybuilding, and conversions business with multiple locations, and building relationships with insurers, accident management companies, fleet operators, and commercial vehicle customers.

You'll be joining a business with an excellent reputation within its sector, a strong operational platform and ambitious plans for growth.

The opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys opening doors, developing strategic partnerships and identifying new revenue opportunities rather than simply maintaining an existing customer base.

The Role

Reporting directly into the senior leadership team, you will be responsible for driving business growth across the organisation.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing relationships with insurers, accident management companies and fleet operators

• Increasing awareness of the company's accident repair and commercial vehicle repair capabilities

• Identifying and securing new business opportunities across the region

• Developing referral partnerships and strategic commercial relationships

• Working closely with operational teams across multiple sites

• Building long-term customer relationships that generate sustainable revenue growth

• Supporting the wider commercial strategy of the business

• Representing the company professionally within the marketplace

About You

We're open to background, but you'll need to be commercially minded, relationship-focused and comfortable operating at a strategic level.

Experience gained within any of the following sectors would be particularly relevant:

• Accident repair

• Bodyshop operations

• Commercial vehicle services

• Fleet management

• Accident management

• Insurance services

• Vehicle rental or leasing

• Transport and logistics services

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys developing relationships, creating opportunities and helping businesses grow.

Why Apply?

• £45,000 - £55,000 basic salary

• Performance-related bonus

• Company vehicle or car allowance

• The opportunity to influence the future growth of the business

• A visible role within an established and respected organisation

• Long-term career development opportunities

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where your ability to build relationships and generate new business will genuinely make a difference, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply today and Stewart Lupton at JSL Solutions - Industrial and Automotive Aftermarket Recruitment, will be in touch.
