• Supporting presentations and proposals to prospective and existing customers

About You

• Proven experience within business development, field sales or account management


• Ideally experience selling fasteners within aerospace


• Alternatively, experience within aerospace sales or fastener sales within another sector


• A strong new business mindset with the drive to identify and convert opportunities


• Commercially aware and comfortable working to sales and profitability targets


• Confident building relationships with customers and key decision-makers


• Proactive, organised and comfortable managing your own diary and customer activity


• Strong communication and presentation skills


• Full UK driving licence

What's in It for You
