Regional Manager - Wythenshawe, Manchester: An Opportunity to Lead and Grow in Instrumentation & Automation
Endress+Hauser is seeking dynamic and experienced sales leaders to fill four Regional Manager positions based in Wythenshawe, Manchester. This is a compelling opportunity for ambitious professionals looking to make a significant impact in the instrumentation, process engineering, and automation sectors. If you are passionate about team development, strategic sales, and driving commercial success, this role offers a robust platform for your career advancement.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This position offers a unique blend of commercial leadership and influential people management. You will be at the forefront of driving sales performance within your designated region, guiding a dedicated team of Internal Sales Engineers, and orchestrating collaboration with various specialist departments including Solutions, Marketing, Service, and Sales. While you may not have direct line management for every regional specialist, you will serve as the central point of leadership, ensuring alignment, engagement, and the successful execution of the company's strategic vision.
Key Responsibilities and Advantages for Candidates:
- Drive Sales Excellence: You will be instrumental in achieving monthly and quarterly sales targets, directly contributing to the company's growth. This offers a tangible measure of your success and impact.
- Strategic Collaboration: Work closely with leaders across Sales, Marketing, Service, and Solutions to deliver exceptional customer outcomes. This cross-functional engagement broadens your understanding of business operations and enhances your strategic thinking.
- Pipeline Management & Forecasting: Hone your skills in monitoring sales pipelines, ensuring accurate forecasting, and maintaining high standards of opportunity qualification – crucial skills for any senior sales professional.
- CRM & Data Integrity: Champion the effective use of CRM systems, ensuring data quality. This emphasizes the importance of data-driven decision-making and proficiency in modern sales tools.
- Team Leadership & Motivation: Lead, coordinate, and motivate cross-functional teams towards achieving high-quality customer results. This is a prime opportunity to develop your leadership and team-building capabilities.
- Foster a Positive Culture: Cultivate a culture of inclusion, engagement, and accountability. You will be empowered to shape a positive and productive working environment.
- Talent Development: Coach and develop Internal Sales Engineers, actively supporting their career progression and well-being. This is a significant advantage for candidates passionate about mentorship and developing future talent.
- Customer Engagement: Proactively engage with customers, understanding their needs and tailoring solutions. This role provides direct customer interaction and the chance to build strong, lasting relationships.
- Professional Development: A significant advantage is the company's commitment to your growth, including the full funding of a Level 4 Sales Professional Diploma. This demonstrates a strong investment in your long-term career path.
Who Endress+Hauser is Looking For:
Ideal candidates will possess:
- Proven B2B sales leadership experience, preferably within an engineering or technical environment.
- Demonstrated experience in leading and developing teams, with strong coaching and mentoring skills.
- Excellent organizational insight, a solid understanding of products and markets, and strong commercial acumen.
- Digital fluency, with experience in CRM systems like Salesforce or SAP being a valuable asset.
- A resourceful, collaborative, and proactive approach to problem-solving.
- Ethical conduct, resilience, and the ability to lead by example.
While not essential, experience in instrumentation or automation, or specific sector product knowledge, would be a distinct advantage.
What Endress+Hauser Offers You:
As part of a stable, global, family-owned leader, you will benefit from:
- Excellent training facilities and personalized development plans tailored to your growth.
- A highly committed company with a strong, sustainable vision for the future.
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements to support work-life balance.
- Fantastic office facilities and regular opportunities for team social events.
