At Marley, we’re raising the roof in the UK roofing industry! Marley is at the forefront of pitched roof systems, leading the industry in sustainability and innovation. With over a century of know-how under our belt, we're the trusted partners for architects, contractors, and roofing professionals. We’ve now joined forces with Marshalls plc, the UK’s leading manufacturer of hard landscaping and building products – bringing two strong heritages together!

As market leaders and innovators in our sector, we’re invested in both our evolution and our people. We have an unrivalled offering of products and a passionate sales force. It’s within this successful team at Marley, that we are recruiting for an Area Sales Manager to cover the Kent area. With the potential to generate £5million on this patch, you have a great opportunity to make your mark.

So, what’s my mission?
With training and support, you’ll have full autonomy to sell solutions, add value and utilise our innovative products, all under our trusted brand. Ensuring existing relationships are nurtured, you’ll need to balance the development of new and critical business opportunities across a wide range of customers. With your passion for sales and experience with specification you’ll be able to run the patch almost like your own business and develop profitable relationships. 

The first step will be to proactively identify, influence, and deliver a strong pipeline of projects with specifiers and contractors. Once specification opportunities have been established you’ll negotiate, develop, and implement specific business plans to achieve regional sales targets. You’ll be responsible for the promotion of early pre-tender engagement, and you’ll prepare and present project-related value propositions and solutions. The job will include attending regular meetings across your region, and the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and yearly forecasts to support with planning.

We’re ready for you to challenge our expectations, showcase your entrepreneurial skills and really create a space for yourself where you can improve on what’s already in place!

What will you need to bring with you?
Previous success has shown we need a commercial thinker who has a flair for sales. You don’t need to have done exactly the same job, but you do need to show us your ambition and passion within sales. Other skills to bring include;

• A passion for your customers, ensuring they are at the heart of all you do

• Energy, with a clear ambition to progress and a passion for learning

• Experience using Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, to develop value-added presentations
• In this regional role, you’ll need to live on patch (Kent), have a UK driving licence and own your own car (Car allowance and Expenses are part of your package)

So, what’s in it for you?
Working from your home office, you’ll have the autonomy to grow the business and your career. Benefits include;

• 26 Holidays + bank holidays
• Cash Car Allowance
