Regional Sales Manager

Full-time, permanent

This is a hybrid role, offering a combination of being able to work remotely and out visiting customer sites covering South-East England

So, what is this opportunity all about?

Here at RS, we have a brilliant Commercial Leadership opportunity to join our energised and highly collaborative Field Sales Team as a Regional Sales Manager. You will lead Key Account Managers to solve customer problems with our wide range of solutions, whilst holding overall accountability for profitable growth in driving turnover.

We aren’t a company that stands still, and RS recognises that world-class teams need the best equipment, processes, and systems. As such we provide world class tools, systems and working conditions; removing distractions and enabling you to focus on what’s important. In this digital age, technology, and commercial thinking changes rapidly. We continue to develop ours and want you to be part of that evolution.

The Regional Sales Manager will drive the financial performance of their region, whilst also having a significant influence on the overall profitability and the Value Add Solutions performance across the UK market.

A bit about you and what you will enjoy doing to be successful in this role:

• You will enjoy coaching and leading people; supporting the Key Account Management community to deliver their aspirations - finding ways to develop and motivate your talented team.
• An open leader, you inspire, you are humble and down to earth, with a flexible approach who is open to challenge the current leadership and be challenged in return. It’s key that you are not hierarchically minded, as we are proud of being equal players in the Field sales team – every voice is heard.
• Working across the market with the Corporate & Internal sales teams.
• Being commercially astute, (thinking Big) identifying large new opportunities for growth and bringing solid commercial propositions to the business whilst being responsible for delivering optimum return on all investments.
• Developing and maintaining a healthy pipeline of new business opportunities to exceed expectations.
• Being on the road, the expectations are that you are supportive of your team, coaching and developing them. You will therefore be spending time with them, either at their clients or other RS sites across the region. So obviously a driving licence is essential.

Strong leadership drives tangible benefits for our business and is core to our success. Our Amazing Leaders are required to show their passion for our people, customers, and suppliers. They must act with humility to create an environment where our people can make amazing happen and they will demonstrate trust by leading by example, taking accountability and ownership.

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone. Grow in our learning and inclusive culture and be rewarded for your success. Whoever you are, whatever you do and wherever you are; it all starts here. Why not make RS a part of your journey?
