Sales Manager

At FG Library, we don't just supply furniture, we design inspiring library environments that shape communities, support education, and transform spaces across the UK and internationally.

With over 20 years of expertise, we are the UK's leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of library interiors, working with public sector organisations, schools, universities and local authorities. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a dynamic Sales Manager to join our industry-leading sales team.

The Role

This is far more than a traditional sales position. As a Sales Manager, you'll be at the heart of exciting, varied projects, from initial conversations through to completed spaces.

You'll work directly with clients to understand their vision, translate requirements into creative briefs for our in-house designers, and ultimately present and secure the final solution.

Expect a highly varied role with:

• Regular travel to customer meetings, project sites and stakeholders
• Collaboration with our Northampton HQ, Clerkenwell showroom, and four UK manufacturing sites
• Opportunities to shape library spaces across England and Wales

You'll inherit a strong, well established territory, with an existing pipeline and relationships, alongside the freedom to develop new opportunities and grow the region

Key Responsibilities

• Build and develop sales across public sector, education and healthcare clients
• Manage and grow both existing and dormant accounts
• Generate and respond to new sales leads and enquiries
• Conduct site visits, surveys and client meetings
• Present tailored design solutions and close sales opportunities
• Maintain accurate pipeline management and forecasting
• Stay informed on market trends, competitors and product developments
• Contribute to strategic sales and marketing initiatives

What We're Looking For Personal Attributes

• Commercially driven with a proactive mindset
• Strong communicator with excellent presentation skills
• Able to listen, interpret and respond to client requirements effectively
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Confident working independently and as part of a team
• Enthusiastic, motivated, and adaptable

Experience

• Proven experience in face to face sales (essential)
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• Experience managing a sales territory and sales pipeline (desirable)
• Background in furniture, interiors, education or public sector sales (desirable)

What We Offer

• Base salary with uncapped commission
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• Ongoing training and professional development
• The opportunity to work on meaningful, high impact projects across the UK
• Part of a wider group structure, with a well established, loyal and experienced team in all areas

Working Hours

Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:30pm (Flexibility required to meet the demands of the role)
