If you enjoy developing new markets, building long-term commercial partnerships and creating sustainable business growth, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.
We're recruiting on behalf of an established and respected business within the agricultural sector that is investing in ambitious growth across Europe. As part of this strategy, the company is creating a new European Commercial Manager position to develop distributor partnerships and expand its presence within the large animal market.
This is more than a business development role. It's an opportunity to help establish the company's commercial presence across Europe and play an influential role in its long-term international growth.
The Opportunity
Your primary responsibility will be to identify, develop and secure new distributor partnerships across Europe, introducing a technically advanced product portfolio into new and existing markets.
Success in this role will come from your ability to identify commercial opportunities, build strong relationships, understand the needs of individual markets and convert those opportunities into sustainable, profitable business.
This is a consultative sales role, requiring someone who enjoys understanding customers' businesses, providing technical solutions and building long-term partnerships based on trust.
A significant proportion of your time will be spent travelling throughout Europe, meeting distributors, farming businesses and key industry contacts. If you enjoy working internationally and building relationships face to face, this role offers exactly that opportunity.
About You
We're looking for an experienced commercial professional who can demonstrate:
- Knowledge of the large animal, livestock or agricultural sectors.
- A proven track record of developing new business and delivering sustainable revenue growth.
- Experience identifying prospective customers and developing new commercial relationships.
- Strong business development and prospecting skills with evidence of successfully winning new business.
- A proactive, commercially focused approach with the determination to achieve long-term objectives.
- The ability to remain motivated and persistent throughout longer sales cycles.
- Experience selling technical products using a consultative, solution-focused approach.
- Experience working with distributors, agents or international sales channels would be highly advantageous.
- Excellent communication skills with fluent written and spoken English.
- Additional European language skills would be beneficial.
- The flexibility and commitment to travel extensively throughout Europe.
Why This Opportunity?
This is a newly created position with genuine long-term potential.
The successful individual will play an important role in establishing the company's European commercial strategy and helping to shape future international growth. As the business continues to expand, there will be opportunities to develop your career alongside that growth.
The company also recognises that international business development requires flexibility. Rather than fixed office hours, you'll have the autonomy to manage your own schedule around customer requirements and business priorities. In return, they're looking for someone who is equally flexible, committed and motivated to build successful commercial relationships across Europe.
What's on Offer?
- £65,000–£75,000 basic salary.
- Competitive benefits package.
- Business travel expenses covered.
- Home-based role with the flexibility to be located in the UK or Europe.
- Extensive international travel throughout Europe.
- The opportunity to make a significant contribution to an ambitious European growth strategy.
- Long-term career development within an expanding international business.
