To be considered for these exceptional Sales and Business Development Manager opportunities within a genuine market leading operation, successful candidates will demonstrate excellent communication skills and the ability to influence and negotiate at all levels, along with solid technical experience to allow you to both understand the needs of the customer and propose relevant products and solutions to satisfy those requirements from the portfolio available, whilst ensuring the highest levels of customer service and satisfaction are achieved at all times.
