Sales Partner/Technical Solutions Manager

Do you thrive on building long-term client partnerships rather than chasing one-off deals? Can you talk technical detail with engineers one minute and commercial terms with directors the next? If you've answered yes to both, read on.

We're working exclusively with a very successful, long-established British design and manufacturing business that builds bespoke, custom-engineered solutions for some of the most demanding clients in the world. Their products operate in high-performance environments where precision, reliability and speed of execution are non-negotiable, and their reputation among an elite international client base has been earned over decades of getting the detail right.

They're now looking for a Sales Partner / Technical Solutions Manager to take ownership of a key sector of the business and grow it meaningfully over the next two to three years. You'll be working alongside a Senior Business Development Manager — someone I placed into the business back in 2019 and who has gone on to do brilliant things there — so this is very much a partnership role with a clear runway to grow your own accounts and your own profile.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Building deep, trusted relationships with high-profile international clients and a US distributor network.
• Travelling to industry events and customer sites across the UK, Europe and the States.
• Scoping technical requirements on-site, feeding them back to an in-house design team, and turning enquiries into long-term partnerships.
• Owning a pipeline, managing a CRM properly, and shaping the commercial direction of the sector as the business scales.

This is not a transactional sales seat. It's a relationship and consultancy role with technical credibility at its core — selling into environments where your clients expect you to keep up.

What you'll bring:

• A proven track record in technical or solutions-based B2B sales, ideally around engineered, bespoke or capital products.
• The commercial instinct to negotiate well and the engineering curiosity to genuinely understand what's being built.
• Confident with customers at every level, comfortable on a stand at a trade show, and equally happy in a design-led conversation with an engineer.
• Experience selling into high-performance, time-critical or elite-client sectors is a real advantage but not a deal-breaker — strong technical sales DNA from an adjacent world is just as interesting.

You'll need to be office-based near Norwich (this isn't a remote role), happy to travel internationally several times a year including occasional weekends, and hold a clean-ish driving licence.

The package:

• £Excellent base (depending on experience)
• Excellent OTE with bonus linked to objectives and profit share
• 32 days holiday including bank holidays
• a genuine seat at the table in a business with ambitious growth plans.

If this sounds like you — or someone you know — get in touch for a confidential conversation.
