Key Account Manager – Kitchens

Role

I am recruiting for a Key Account Manager to join a leading kitchen manufacturer, selling a premium range of kitchens into major high-rise residential developments.

Covering Birmingham across to Norfolk, including the South West and Wales, you will be responsible for developing new business with housebuilders, contractors and developers. This is a project-led role, focused on identifying upcoming developments, building relationships and securing new tender opportunities. The initial focus will be on winning new business and establishing a strong pipeline. As the territory develops, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of the key accounts you have secured, building long-term relationships and growing their potential.

Company

The business has an established UK presence, and continues to strengthen its position within the  residential development market, with this appointment forming part of its ongoing growth.

Person

You will ideally have experience selling into residential developments, with an understanding of the relationships and sales processes involved in securing major projects. More importantly, you will have a proven ability to generate new business, develop relationships with major contractors and developers, and identify opportunities before they reach tender stage.

You will be commercially minded, proactive and confident communicating with customers at all levels. Strong written communication skills are also essential.
