Sales Development Manager
Sector: Corrugate (shelf-ready) packaging
Territory: Wider Northern Region
Package: Basic Salary up to £50,000 plus attractive Bonus/OTE, Company Car/Allowance & Company Benefits
The Company
Nelsons for Cartons & Packaging is a leading supplier of shelf-ready packaging solutions to UK based businesses. Our products can be seen in most of the Supermarket stores including Tesco’s, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s, Bookers, Bestway and online including Amazon. The aim is to provide top class products with high class service, yet at a competitive price. We are seeking to expand our coverage and critical to this is the successful appointment of a new Sales Development Manager to help grow our offering across the wider Northern region of our Retail, Display and Food Packaging Division.
The Sales Development Manager Role
The role is to develop predominantly SRP (shelf-ready-packaging) and Display Corrugated packaging within the Northern Sales Area. Based in the North you will have full site support along with an excellent package to match the expectations of this key role. Key duties will include…
We are only interested in speaking to genuinely expeirenced, corrugate sales professionals (main corrugate plant background would be favorable). Some prior experience of shelf-ready or display packaging would also be hugely advantageous, although not essential. Knowledge of post, pre-print, litho, digital and HQPP, as well as structural design would also be useful to this role. To be clear, this is a development sales role, so we are needing someone to ‘get after’ new customers and grow the region through new business sales activity, not simply an account manager. Any prior experience of selling packaging into the food retail sector would also be a huge plus. You will have a valid UK driving license and ideally be based somewhere within the wider Northern UK region.
