  • Spearhead the development and execution of sales and specification strategies, harnessing data and analytics to uncover insights, optimise performance and drive continuous improvement.
  • Partner with other functions to foster a culture of collaboration, innovation and accountability.
  • Lead and develop the national sales team, fostering a high-performance culture of customer service.
  • Forge strong relationships with key customers and influential partners, providing them with valuable support and solutions, unlocking new business opportunities and solidifying our position as a trusted industry partner.
  • Champion cross-functional collaboration, working closely with marketing, supply chain, and operations to ensure alignment and drive collective success.
  • Be the voice of our customer, advocating their needs and preferences and championing initiatives to meet and exceed their expectations.

  • Ideally 10+ years’ experience leading high-performing sales teams with a strong emphasis on specification-led sales, ideally from the building products, steel or construction materials industry.
  • A proven track record of driving transformational results through specification, stakeholder influence, and customer centric outcomes.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and bring structure, systems and direction to the team. 
  • A strategic thinker, able to navigate complexity, prioritise effectively and drive initiatives to successful outcomes.
  • Degree in Business or Commerce is preferred.

On Offer
This role is a succession hire, supporting a planned retirement with a 12-month transition designed to enable a comprehensive handover and set the successful candidate up for long-term success.  If you are looking for an open, collaborative and high-performing environment, this role could be for you.  We offer;
