New Business Manager

As SVAT continue to grow and expand our footprint in the UK, we are seeking a highly skilled and experienced New Business Manager to join our Sales Team. As a New Business Manager, you will be promoting ‘usership over ownership’ to maximise sales opportunities within your own territory. What does a New Business Manager do day to day? For most businesses, their commercial vehicles are critical to their ability to conduct their primary activity, be that plumber, builder, electrician, courier, etc - if they are not on the road, they are not earning money. Every van on the road is a potential customer, and as a New Business Manager, we will be looking to you to create relationships with these businesses. You would be expected to be out in the field focusing on fleets of all shapes and sizes in the SME market, generating your own leads and engaging with potential customers across your area. You will develop a detailed understanding of your local market, including local investment, new projects, and business initiatives – you will open doors, start conversations and build relationships based on truly understanding what is important to the businesses in your area, and showing them how they can work together with SVAT to create a first class fleet solution.

The demands for success are high and therefore the successful applicant will need to have a proven track record in sales and Business development, preferably from a B2B service market. SVAT Ltd has a dynamic corporate culture which is characterized by passion for sales, freedom for personal ideas and growth, a flat management structure and a hands-on mentality. Employees quickly take over responsibility and act as an “entrepreneur within a corporation”.
