Our Client

A leading international manufacturer is seeking to expand its sales team within the rail sector. The company is known for providing advanced material solutions that meet high standards of quality and performance in a variety of industries. As part of their continued growth in the rail sector, our client is seeking a driven and results-oriented Sales Manager to lead new business development and expand market share, focusing on technical foam and turnkey solutions for rail interiors.

The Role

The Sales Manager will be responsible for identifying and securing new business opportunities within the rail market, building and maintaining customer relationships, and supporting the company's strategic objectives. The role combines new business generation with account management, with a particular emphasis on technical products for rail applications.

The ideal candidate will have a proven background in B2B technical sales, with strengths in both business development and relationship management. Strong negotiation, communication, and presentation skills are essential, along with a proactive and commercially focused approach. Analytical skills and experience working with market data and digital sales tools are important for success in this position.

Previous experience in the rail sector, especially with technical materials for rail interiors, is highly desirable. A degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field is preferred. Familiarity with supply chain processes, sales forecasting, and industry regulations will be an advantage.
