Engineering & Digital Consulting Services

Location: UK

Type: Permanent

The role

We’re looking for a hands-on Sales Manager to lead, coach, and scale a technical sales team selling engineering and digital consulting services into complex, engineering-led organisations.

This role suits someone who has carried a quota, understands long-cycle, consultative sales, and now enjoys getting more out of others — not just closing deals themselves.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading and developing a small team of sales / BD professionals
• Setting direction, priorities, and sales discipline (pipeline, forecasting, deal reviews)
• Coaching the team on consultative selling of complex engineering services
• Supporting key opportunities — discovery, solution shaping, senior stakeholder engagement
• Working closely with technical and delivery leaders to align commercial and delivery strategy

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience managing or supervising sales teams
• Background in engineering services, technical consulting, or complex B2B solutions
• Comfortable selling into engineering, R&D, manufacturing, industrial or energy-led clients
• Strong coaching mindset with a player–coach approach
• Able to balance commercial rigour with technical credibility

Backgrounds that fit well

• Sales leaders from engineering consultancies or digital engineering firms
• Senior BDs / Account Directors ready for first or second-line management
• Experience selling simulation, PLM, product development, or technical services

Why this role

• Leadership focus with real influence on sales culture
• Complex, high-value sales conversations
• Long-term client partnerships
• Clear mandate to build and improve the sales function
