Sales Manager (UK & Ireland)
Capital Equipment | Food Processing & Automation Home-Based | £60K - £80K (DOE) + Commission + Car/Allowance
High-value sales. Complex solutions. Real influence.
If you’ve built your career selling capital equipment or automated machinery into food manufacturing, you’ll know this isn’t about shifting products - it’s about solving problems, building trust, and winning long-cycle, high-value projects.
This opportunity puts you at the front of that.
You’ll be joining a global OEM with a strong UK presence and international manufacturing capability, delivering cutting-edge automated food processing solutions into some of the most demanding production environments.
The Role
This is a strategic, high-impact sales position covering the UK & Ireland.
You’ll take ownership of the full sales lifecycle, from identifying opportunities through to closing complex, high-value deals, while building long-term partnerships with key customers.
This is not a transactional role. It’s about consultative selling, technical credibility, and commercial ownership.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Winning new business within food manufacturing and processing environments
* Building and managing a strong pipeline of capital equipment projects
* Developing and growing key accounts, identifying repeat and expansion opportunities
* Engaging with Engineering, Production, Operations and senior leadership teams
* Leading a consultative sales approach, understanding challenges and proposing tailored solutions
* Managing long-cycle, high-value projects from concept through to contract
* Leading commercial negotiations, pricing strategy, and contract agreements
* Working closely with internal engineering and project teams to ensure successful delivery
What We’re Looking For
You’ll already understand what it takes to succeed in this space.
* Proven track record in capital equipment / machinery sales (ideally food or FMCG)
* Strong experience in new business development and key account management
* Comfortable selling high-value, technically complex solutions
* Strong commercial awareness - margins, ROI, deal structuring
* Confident dealing with senior stakeholders and decision-makers
* A consultative, solutions-led approach - not just order taking
* Strong negotiation and closing skills in long sales cycles
What’s On Offer
* £60,000 - £80,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
* Uncapped commission on equipment sales
* Company car or car allowance
* Home-based role with autonomy
* Opportunity to represent a well-established, technically strong OEM
* Exposure to high-value, consultative sales projects
* Clear opportunity to make a direct commercial impact
Why This Role Stands Out
* You’re not selling a commodity, you’re selling engineered solutions that matter
* You’ll have the freedom to develop your territory properly
* You’ll be backed by a business with real engineering capability and global reach
* Every deal is meaningful - high value, technically engaging, and commercially rewarding
If you’re currently selling capital equipment and feel like you’re capable of more - more ownership, more value, more reward - this is the kind of role that gives you that platform. Apply Today
