- A genuine, customer-focused approach, professional, personable and confident communicating technical observations clearly and effectively
- Resilience and confidence when facing challenges, with the ability to adapt to changing customer needs
- A proactive, self-motivated mindset, someone driven, hungry for success and able to operate independently
What you will be doing:
- Visiting stockists and engaging with contractors across your region to promote our product portfolio
- Managing and developing the area to achieve volume and gross margin targets, nurturing both new and existing relationships with stockists, contractors and specialist applicators
- Manage your own infrastructure led specification bank KPI, running the area as a hybrid specification role when required
- Supporting key projects and generating new business opportunities across the supply chain and contractor base
