If you’re an experienced internal sales person working in a builders’ or trade merchant environment right now, you’ll know the story: you’re already carrying the department, already the one the branch manager leans on, and the actual promotion never quite lands. This is a genuine way out of that. A well-established, multi-branch trade merchant business is looking for someone exactly at that stage in their career, ready to stop waiting for the step up and just take it.
This is a player-manager role. You’ll keep running your own accounts, dealing directly with contractors and housebuilders across the East of Scotland, but you’ll also be leading and mentoring a small internal sales team of two and deputising for the branch manager when they’re out. Genuine authority from day one, not a watered-down assistant title with none of the responsibility.
You’ve come up through a builders’, timber, plumbing or similar trade merchant background, with a proper bias towards sales rather than pure operations, and you’ve already got the product knowledge and customer relationships to back it up. What you’re missing is the title that matches the job you’re already doing. If that’s you, this is built for you.
£40,000 basic, with realistic OTE potential of up to £10,000 as you build into the role — circa £50,000 once established, typically from year two. Full-time, permanent, based on the East of Scotland patch. If you’re an internal sales executive, trade counter supervisor or assistant branch manager ready to make the step up, get in touch.
