Thank you for taking the time to read about this new opportunity! We have advertised this role as Newcastle based, but in reality it can be based anywhere in the North East where you have great transport links.
It's a home / field based Key Accounts / sales / business development role with attendance at the Sheffield office once a month for a sales meeting.
You will also be required to attend for 2 weeks in Sheffield for an induction programme and we're trying to align our other starters in the UK to start at the same time so that everyone can be inducted together.

Do you have a proven record of building strong commercial relationships?
