  • Up to 12% pension contribution

Who they are

This is a global business with a strong presence in the extracts market. They’re serious about growth and innovation, and they value people who take ownership and deliver. Joining them means being part of a team that collaborates, challenges, and succeeds together.

If you thrive on building relationships and turning opportunities into results, this role will give you the scope to do exactly that. You’ll be joining a business that values commercial acumen and gives you the freedom to make an impact. Hybrid working means you’ll have flexibility, but you’ll also be part of a close-knit team that knows how to deliver.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety. You’ll be supporting the Business Development Manager while managing your own portfolio of customers and distributors. You’ll be the person who keeps things moving from onboarding new clients to spotting growth opportunities and making sure the details are right. If you like working at pace without cutting corners, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll be doing

  • Driving new business: qualifying leads, managing enquiries, and converting opportunities into long-term clients
  • Managing existing accounts and distributors across Europe, delivering agreed growth targets
  • Coordinating key commercial processes, from S&OP updates to CRM data management
  • Acting as the go-to support for the wider commercial team, ensuring meetings, training, and reporting run smoothly

What you’ll need to bring

  • Solid experience in a sales or customer-facing role
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise under pressure
  • Confident communication skills, both written and verbal
  • A proactive, results-driven mindset with a knack for problem-solving

If this sounds like the perfect next step for you, reach out today at george.robinson@pie-recruitment.com or give me a call on 07885 484489. Don’t wait, this opportunity won’t be available for long
