We’re supporting a well-established marine group in the search for an experienced European Sales Manager. This is a senior, high-impact role for someone who can genuinely own key accounts, drive commercial growth across Europe, and deliver a seamless customer journey from concept through to delivery.

Working closely with the Sales Director, you’ll play a central role in shaping sales strategy, strengthening commercial performance, and building long-term partnerships with major European clients. In short: this is not a passenger role — you’re expected to steer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Developing and executing European sales strategies alongside the Sales Director
• Owning key accounts, including quoting, pricing structures and margin performance
• Leading structured account reviews and building long-term, trusted client relationships
• Supporting customers with product selection and technical integration using your marine expertise
• Coordinating internally across design, manufacturing, procurement, logistics and finance to keep projects moving
• Delivering clear communication and first-class customer service at every stage
• Identifying new opportunities and providing accurate sales forecasts
• Travelling across Europe as required (yes, sometimes last minute — welcome to sales)
• Leading confident, technical sales conversations in person and via video
• Staying calm under pressure and keeping a practical, solutions-led mindset

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in OEM or technical B2B sales within the marine sector
• Strong commercial awareness, including pricing, margins and performance metrics
• Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Confidence handling technical discussions and commercially driven decisions
• Solid working knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint and CRM/internal systems
• A proactive, positive “let’s get this done properly” attitude
• French language skills are a strong advantage
