Sales Director - Print, Mailing & Fulfilment - South East England - £Depending on Experience

Our client is a well-established, family-run print, mailing and fulfilment business looking to appoint an experienced Sales Director to lead its commercial activity and drive the next stage of growth across the South East.

This is an opportunity to join an independently owned business where you can make a genuine impact. Working closely with the owners and senior team, you will have the freedom to shape the sales strategy, develop new opportunities and influence the future direction of the company, without the layers of management often found in larger corporate organisations.

With a strong reputation for delivering bespoke print, mailing and fulfilment solutions to a diverse customer base, the business is well positioned for further growth. The successful candidate will play a key role in identifying and converting that potential into sustainable commercial success.

The Role

As Sales Director, you will take ownership of the company's sales strategy and commercial development, combining strategic leadership with a hands on approach to business development and account growth.

You will be responsible for strengthening existing customer relationships, securing new business and identifying opportunities to expand the company's presence across the print, mailing and fulfilment markets.

Working closely with the owners and operational team, you will help shape the business's commercial proposition and ensure that opportunities are developed into profitable, deliverable solutions.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and implementing the company's sales strategy and growth plan.
• Identifying, developing and securing new business opportunities across print, mailing and fulfilment.
• Building strong, long term relationships with existing and prospective customers.
• Growing key accounts and maximising opportunities within the existing customer base.
• Identifying new markets, sectors and potential revenue streams.
• Working closely with the operational team to develop commercially viable customer solutions.
• Taking ownership of sales performance, pipeline development and revenue growth.
• Representing the business at customer meetings, networking events and industry functions.
• Developing the company's sales proposition and strengthening its commercial presence in the marketplace.

About You

We are looking for an established B2B sales professional with a strong background in the print, mailing or fulfilment industry.

You may already be working as a Sales Director, Sales Manager or Senior Business Development professional and be ready for a role offering greater influence, autonomy and involvement in the wider business.

You will be commercially astute, confident in winning new business and comfortable building relationships with senior decision makers. Equally important is your ability to work within a smaller, independently owned organisation, where a hands on and entrepreneurial approach is essential.

You should have:

• A proven track record in B2B sales and business development.
• Strong knowledge of the print industry and/or mailing and fulfilment services.
• Experience winning new business and developing existing customer accounts.
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills.
• A commercially focused, entrepreneurial approach.
• The confidence to work independently and take ownership of the sales function.
• The ability to identify commercial opportunities and convert them into profitable business.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to join a successful, family run business with an established reputation and ambitious plans for the future.

For someone accustomed to working within a larger organisation, it offers the opportunity to take on a more influential position, work directly with the owners and see the impact of your contribution.

If you are an experienced print, mailing or fulfilment sales professional looking for greater responsibility, closer access to decision makers and the opportunity to shape the commercial future of an independent business, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
