Regional Sales Manager

Regional Sales Manager

Hybrid, Field-based covering Eastern Region (from North Lincolnshire, to Cambridgeshire and East Anglia) 

So, what is this opportunity is all about? 
Here at RS, we have a brilliant Commercial Leadership opportunity to join our energised and highly collaborative Field Sales Team as a Commercial Leader. You will lead Key Account Managers to solve customer problems with our wide range of solutions.  This is a regional role with accountability for profitable growth to drive turnover in excess of £50m. 
 
We aren’t a company that stands still, and RS recognises that world-class teams need the best equipment, processes, and systems. As such we provide world class tools, systems and working conditions; removing distractions and enabling you to focus on what’s important. In this digital age, technology, and commercial thinking changes rapidly. We continue to develop ours and want you to be part of that evolution. 

The Commercial Leader will drive the financial performance of their region, whilst also having a significant influence on the overall profitability and Value Add Services performance across the UK market. 
  
A bit about you and what you will enjoy doing to be successful in this role:

• You will enjoy coaching and leading people; supporting the Key Account Management community to deliver their aspirations - finding ways to develop and motivate your talented team. 
• An open leader, you inspire, you are humble and down to earth, with a flexible approach who is open to challenge the current leadership and be challenged in return. It’s key that you are not hierarchically minded, as we are proud of being equal players in the Field sales team – every voice is heard. 
• Working across the market with the Corporate & Internal sales teams.
• Being commercially astute, (thinking Big) identifying large new opportunities for growth and bringing solid commercial propositions to the business whilst being responsible for delivering optimum return on all investments.
• Developing and maintaining a healthy pipeline of new business opportunities to exceed expectations. 
• Being on the road, the expectations are that you are supportive of your team, coaching and developing them. You will therefore be spending time with them, either at their clients or other RS sites across the region. So obviously a driving licence is essential.

  
Strong leadership drives tangible benefits for our business and is core to our success. Our Amazing Leaders are required to show their passion for our people, customers, and suppliers. They must act with humility to create an environment where our people can make amazing happen and they will demonstrate trust by leading by example, taking accountability and ownership.
