About the Company

You'll be responsible for identifying and securing new customers, then developing and growing those accounts during their first 12 months before handing them over to an established account management structure. It's a role that rewards relationship building just as much as business development.

You'll:

• Retain ownership of new accounts during the critical onboarding and growth phase.
• Help shape the commercial expansion of the business across Scotland.
• Influence the future success of a business with ambitious growth plans.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, target, and win new customers across Dundee and surrounding areas.
• Develop and execute a territory growth plan aligned to business objectives.
• Generate opportunities through networking, prospecting, referrals, social selling, and industry engagement.
• Build strong relationships with key decision makers and stakeholders.
• Present tailored proposals, negotiate commercial agreements, and secure profitable business.
• Manage onboarding and account development for newly acquired customers.
• Maintain CRM accuracy, pipeline visibility, and forecast reporting.
• Work closely with the operations, procurement, customer service, and commercial teams to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

Requirements

About You

You will ideally have:

• Experience within packaging, industrial consumables, manufacturing, distribution, or a related B2B environment.
• A proven track record of delivering new business growth and exceeding sales targets.
• Strong prospecting, negotiation, and account development skills.
• Experience using CRM systems and sales analytics tools.
• Commercial awareness, resilience, and a self-motivated approach.
• A full UK driving licence.

Benefits

What's in it for You?

• Join a business at an exciting stage in its growth, with significant investment and ambition.
• Genuine autonomy to develop your territory and build your own customer base.
• Competitive salary, uncapped earnings potential, company car / car allowance, pension, laptop and mobile phone.
• Ongoing training, support, and career development opportunities.
• A culture built around integrity, collaboration, trust, and long-term success.
