This position will suit the candidate who is looking for a firm career within a strong market sector; Mobile Communications.

Interested? Well read on….

Our client has struck upon a fantastic way to benefit local communities by not only bringing them the communications that their local area badly needs; but they benefit grass roots sports clubs in the process.

Imagine a small town or village sports ground, tennis club, rugby or football team who find it very hard to obtain funds. By negotiating permissions with the club, local planning/parish councils, our client can bring the sports club benefits such as paid-for-floodlighting for 30 years in exchange for siting a mobile phone mast atop the floodlights (for example).

You will represent our clients, who work on behalf of the very biggest names in mobile communications, in provisioning essential network resources, and who use the revenue generated to benefit local communities.

It is estimated that mobile operators will be erecting 750 more transmitters now that government backing and mobile operators have been aligned, and so you can see how our client is expecting a very busy time.

This is a role with a difference, because although it is titled ‘Regional Sales Manager’€™ you are effectively purchasing permission to use sites and managing the process to deliver the benefits to the sports clubs.

However, this role requires all of the skills normally found in a territory-roaming RSM. You will be a road-warrior, visiting sites from Leeds to the Scottish borders and beyond. You will have a portfolio of ‘leads’€™ that you will progress (likely c. 30) and bring to fruition over a period of months provided by your excellent support and legal team.
The role involves making contacts, building trust, being present at meetings to put forward the case, overseeing the deal and the delivery so that all parties are happy.

Our ideal candidate does not require specific technical skills, their key feature will be a charismatic warm personality which establishes trust and authority, along with a purposeful drive to deliver benefits and a track record of customer facing regional sales work.

A familiarity with business development techniques and the bid process will be a great advantage, along with any project management skills and interest in grass-roots sport.
A large part of the process in some cases can be negotiating permissions with parish councils, sports committees or local councils and any experience in this area, along with strong, pragmatic patience will be advantageous.
You will of course have the usual IT skills needed for remote working.

This position is mostly salary based, with some commission paid per site completed. There is a car allowance of £48,000 per year and the mileage rate of 45ppm. Laptop and IT support is provided along with an excellent set of systems such as salesforce.

You will be home based with occasional travel to company meetings and of course travel around your region.

As you may need to visit club meeting and parish council meetings you will have a flexible approach to working hours.

The company you will be working for is based near Southampton and you first interviews will be held through Skype with Select Appointments.

This role is suitable for applicants based around the A1m/M6 in Leeds, York, Carlisle, Darlington, Newcastle or such a region.
