Regional Sales Manager

at  Close Brothers Group

OVERALL SUMMARY

At Close Brothers we look to recruit individuals from all different backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and are open to discuss flexible work options to help you balance your work and home life.
Join the Close Brothers Asset Finance team where you and your team of Area Sales Managers will generate new business whilst also building on existing relationships within the construction & Recycling sectors.
Sales will be generated through direct sales activity, following up leads generated by marketing, initiating local marketing activity and actively sourcing new business opportunities using external agents/introducers.
This is a field based role, working across Yorkshire, so you will ideally be based locally. The role involves travel across the region to meet customers face to face and to support the development of your team.

IT’S NOT ESSENTIAL, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF:

• You have direct experience in the Construction & Recycling sectors
• You have experience of managing a team - either directly or indirectly mentoring and coaching sales people
  We are an inclusive organisation and committed to ensuring our recruitment process is as accessible as possible to everyone. We will make adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition. If you need the job description or application form in an alternative format or would like to discuss the recruitment process with us, please email us at recruit.ssc@closebrothers.com or request a call back.
