National Sales Manager - Engineering / Manufacturing

Location: Hybrid (Head office in Glasgow)
Industry: Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Solutions
Package: £60 - 70,000 basic salary + Car/Allowance + Bonus + Benefits

The Company

This is a rare opportunity to join a financially secure, engineering-led manufacturing business with a long-standing reputation for delivering technically advanced products to sectors including Renewables, Industrial, Defence, and Oil & Gas.

With a heritage built on quality, precision, and innovation, they are trusted by many of the UK's leading engineering operators and OEMs. The business combines deep engineering expertise with a grown-up, collaborative culture where relationships matter and long-term thinking is rewarded.

As they continue to strengthen their commercial leadership team, they are now looking for a National Sales Manager to oversee both key account growth and sales team performance.

The Role

This is a hybrid senior sales leadership role that combines hands-on key account management with the opportunity to lead and coach a small, experienced sales team. The focus is twofold:

1. Nurturing and expanding the business's top 20 long-term customer accounts
2. Driving performance and support across the sales function

This is a key commercial role, responsible for sustaining high levels of service, identifying new growth opportunities, and ensuring the team is aligned with the company's high standards and strategic goals.

Key Responsibilities Include:

1. Managing and developing the company's top 20 high-value strategic accounts
2. Leading, mentoring, and supporting a small sales team
3. Creating account growth strategies in line with evolving client needs
4. Engaging regularly with stakeholders across Renewables, Defence, Oil & Gas, and Industrial markets
5. Collaborating with engineering and production teams to ensure technical alignment
6. Delivering accurate sales forecasts and contributing to long-term commercial strategy

The Rewards

A basic salary of £60 - 70,000 is on offer with a bonus scheme, company car/allowance and associated benefits. You'll have a hybrid working environment with a well-established senior management team who have significant industry experience.

The Candidate

You'll be a confident, commercially focused solutions-led sales professional with a passion for long-term customer partnerships. You'll bring strategic account management experience with either experience or a desire to run/build a sales team.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to step into a senior position in a business that values substance over flash, puts long-term client relationships at the heart of everything, and has serious potential for continued growth.
