The Opportunity
TCS Consulting is supporting a global manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components in the search for a Regional Business Manager to take ownership of an established and high-potential territory across Oxfordshire and the surrounding region.
This is a field-based commercial role focused on managing existing accounts while driving new business growth across OEMs, EMS providers, and other engineering-led organisations. The territory is already active and well developed, offering a strong platform for someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, and converting technical discussions into long-term commercial success.
The patch is weighted towards Oxfordshire and the Aylesbury corridor, so there is a clear preference for candidates based in or around Oxford, Aylesbury, or Milton Keynes.
The Role
As Regional Business Manager, you will be responsible for developing sales activity across a defined territory covering OX, HP, MK, LU, NN, and AL postcodes.
This is a consultative field sales role combining account management, business development, and project follow-through. You will spend the majority of your week engaging customers face to face, typically attending 6 to 8 meetings per week, while also using home-based time for planning, forecasting, CRM updates, and pipeline management.
You will work closely with engineering, procurement, and commercial stakeholders, supporting customers from initial enquiry and design-in discussions through to ongoing production business.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage and grow a defined territory across Oxfordshire and surrounding regions
* Build strong relationships with existing customers and identify opportunities to increase share of wallet
* Generate new business within OEMs, EMS providers, and engineering-led organisations
* Conduct regular face-to-face meetings with engineers, buyers, and key decision-makers
* Support customers with design-in opportunities and early-stage project engagement
* Develop and maintain a structured pipeline of opportunities across the territory
* Track projects from first discussion through to production and repeat business
* Provide accurate forecasting, reporting, and CRM updates
* Work closely with internal technical and commercial teams to support customer requirements
* Deliver against revenue and activity targets while maintaining a high level of customer engagement
* Plan routes and weekly schedules effectively to maximise time in front of customers
