Specialist Sales Account Manager

We are looking for a Senior Sales Account Manager to join our technical sales team in the UK. You will work within our specialist team within Building Envelope trade, selling to and developing customers on relevant Hilti products.

Our Specialist division work on major business areas relating to customers involving Government and Firestop, Building Envelope (Façade), Diamond and Rail across the UK. But this is no ordinary sales job, as ours is a uniquely high-performing and supportive working culture.

You will have the opportunity to work on some of the UK’s biggest construction projects whilst at the same time receiving world-class training and development to take your career to the next level.

Far from traditional cold calling, it’s about nurturing relationships and developing contacts on site with warm customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs.

On a day-to-day basis, you can expect to:

• Go out into the field to see our customers, ask them open questions to understand their needs and provide a tailor-made solution
• Demonstrate our innovative products and state-of-the-art software to customers on-site
• Further develop ‘focus’ customers by building relationships, as well as uncovering new business leads
• Be responsible for the operational, organisational and strategic management of your sales area, fully utilizing the top-in-class CRM system, Salesforce

You’ll be part of a supportive, field-based regional team who are only a phone call away but you’ll be working by yourself on the whole, so you need to be comfortable with building relationships remotely and motivating yourself.

What you need is:

• Customer-facing/sales experience gained in any industry
• Construction industry/ technical experience desirable but not essential
• Solution-oriented approach – you have the ability to uncover customers’ pain points and needs in order to provide our best-suited solutions
• You share our values – commitment, teamwork, courage and integrity
• Resilience and adaptability – you will be comfortable to meet all levels of customer from a site operator to managing director
• Drive – a motivated approach to achieving success and overcoming challenges
• Curiosity – you have a passion to learn, develop and grow
• Organizational skills – you are excellent at managing your time and priorities, and can easily work autonomously
• A full, clean, manual UK driving license to visit our customers on site 5 days a week, Monday to Friday

We don’t expect you to be a construction or sales expert. For us, it’s about the right person – our training will cover the rest!

At Hilti we have a passionate and inclusive global team and a caring and performance-driven culture. This means you are part of something special – a place where you can grow, surrounded by colleagues who support you and safe in the knowledge your results will be recognised and rewarded.
