£66,000basic salary + Bonus + Executive Company Car + Exceptional flexible benefits.

This is a Sales & General Management role managing a very successful loyal sales team developing an international account portfolio. An exceptional opportunity to work for one of the world’s most recognised brands, within a highly profitable industry sector. While many Packaging & Design companies have struggled in the last few years this company has grown in terms of people, turnover and profit and continues to go from strength to strength.

There are many fundamental reasons for this company’s success, one being their positive and winning teamwork ethic and they are seeking an individual that embraces these values. They are looking for a person that has demonstrated throughout their life a desire to be ‘above average’. What matters is that you must be an achiever with a ‘zest for life’ and a key part of the interview process will be based around your attitude, aspirations and determination to succeed.

Ideally you will have experience within the creative packaging, design & print sectors however other areas of interest include fashion, luxury products, creative and corporate sectors.

Importantly you will be an exceptional Sales Manager with the ability to recruit, train and motivate sales teams. A phenomenal people’s-person with a natural flair for getting the best out of teams and individuals. Also, you will possess the credibility and gravitas required to quickly gain the respect of an already successful team. You will be self managing and able to implement and work to your own sales processes, methodologies and measures to ensure that the business growth targets are met. You will also be the kind of person that enjoys mentoring and coaching colleagues to achieve their potential. You will be market aware, the kind of individual that keeps tabs on all competitor activities and learns how to sell effectively against them.

Above all you will be a dynamic achiever, perhaps frustrated by a lack of autonomy or lack of ability to demonstrate your commercial creativity and entrepreneurship in your current role. You will be a consummate professional that is well presented and possessing superb communication skills, both written and verbal. You will be a self starter that wants the opportunity to make the difference and as you will be in a highly visible role within a dynamic growing business there is huge potential for career progression. With full P&L responsibility you will be given the autonomy and support to ensure success and great job satisfaction.
