Area Sales Manager – Trade Distribution
Location: Northern Ireland (field-based)
Salary: Up to £45,000 basic + £15,000 OTE + Company Car

Are you an experienced field account manager looking to take the next step in your career? This is a rare opportunity to join a respected manufacturer and take ownership of a strategically important territory – managing and developing relationships with trade distribution accounts across Northern Ireland.

The Opportunity
In this role, you’ll represent a high-quality, trusted product range that is widely specified and installed across the construction and professional trade sectors. You’ll inherit a well-established customer base with strong existing relationships, but the real opportunity is to grow that network and deepen engagement through service, insight and strategic partnership.
This is not a transactional sales role. It’s a relationship-driven, consultative position where the focus is on delivering real value to trade distribution partners and building long-term growth.

What’s On Offer

• Up to £45,000 basic salary
• £15,000 OTE bonus potential
• Company car, tools and support to succeed
• Full product training and ongoing professional development
• Real autonomy, ownership of your territory and genuine career progression opportunities

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing and developing relationships with trade distribution partners across Northern Ireland
• Working closely with branch managers, regional buyers and decision-makers to understand their priorities and deliver solutions
• Building business plans and sales strategies that drive revenue and market share
• Using CRM and structured account planning to maximise opportunities and monitor performance
• Acting as a consultative partner to customers, helping them grow their own sales and profitability

What We’re Looking For

• Field-based account management experience (ideally in B2B, trade, construction or manufacturing environments)
• Organised, structured and professional approach to territory planning and customer engagement
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to create long-term partnerships
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of how to deliver value beyond price
• A service-focused, consultative sales style with the ambition to develop and progress

The Next Step
If you’re currently managing a sales territory and are ready to represent a respected brand, build lasting customer relationships and progress your career in a strategic field sales role, we’d love to hear from you.
