Multi-million-pound turnover. A reputation built on precision, quality and being genuinely best-in-class. And a clear, fully backed mandate to treble the business in five years.Not talk about trebling it. Do it.You won't be handed a polished, neatly packaged sales machine. You'll walk in, assess what's working, cut what isn't, hold distribution partners and the team to account, and build something that actually performs. That's the job. If you need everything set up for you before you can get going, save everyone's time and look elsewhere.What's Actually in It for You£130k–£150k base salary - and a package built to reward serious performance, not participation.Genuine strategic authority - this isn't a glorified account management role. You'll own the global distribution strategy and have the seniority and backing to execute it.International scope - you'll be operating across global markets, building and reshaping the partner network and growing OEM accounts.A business that wants to grow, not just sustain - the ambition is real, the investment is real, and the opportunity to leave a genuine commercial legacy is real.What You Need to BringA track record of driving serious revenue growth with OEM’s, end users and engineering distributor networks. Not just familiarity with the concept, but proven results.Deep understanding of the industrial process market and the engineering and manufacturing world it sits within.The leadership gravitas to hold partners accountable, inspire internal teams, and command a room at any level.Commercial sharpness - you can read a market, spot an opportunity, and build a strategy that actually lands.And frankly, an appetite for a challenge. This role will stretch you. That's the point.So, Are You Ready?Roles like this don't come around often. The combination of salary, scope, autonomy and genuine growth trajectory is rare. But it demands someone rare in return.If you've got the experience, the drive and the ambition to match — contact Richard York or call the Mercury Hampton office directly on 01925 937 311.Don't wait for the deadline to force your hand.
