International Distribution Manager
New Yesterday
Their product gets recommended, specified, and pushed forward because the right people are backing it.
That's the goal they're aiming for here.
Currently, they have a presence in the States, and it's working well. This success shows there's potential. However, after a two-day offsite review with the leadership team, they took a step back to evaluate what might be missing.
And the conclusion was obvious....
The title is a working one too, you may be called Channel Manager or Partner Acquisition Manager, this is an opportunity to really make your mark.
They need someone experienced that understands how distribution partners ranging from large catalogue industrial online partners to local distributor partners in specified regions operate.
They're looking for you as their new International Distribution Manager to build these relationships, not just manage them.
As International Distribution Manager, you're in the driver's seat, building a robust network.
You're on the hunt for the right distributors, bringing them on board, and ensuring they remain engaged and proactive...not just signing contracts and disappearing.
With the business currently tracking at £5 million, you'll quickly see the impact of your efforts. This role is new; there are no shoes to fill but there is support internally to hit the ground running.
There is a great inclusive culture here, with everyone engaged from shop floor to the Directors, and the team celebrate together and collaborate.
Your focus as an International Distribution Manager is on international markets. The US is just the beginning; think South America, China, and beyond, where the right partnerships can open doors fast.
You'll be the one to identify valuable collaborators, nurture those relationships, and turn them into something that really pays off. Because in this role, getting a partner to say yes is just the first step.
But that's just part of what they need...
As an International Distribution Manager, you'll also need to consider where your product fits best. Think about how it can be integrated into transportation, materials handling, and other areas where it can truly shine, and they can't sell their product without integrating yours... connections within these industries would certainly give you an open door.
You aren't just expanding a network....you're paving new paths to market.
Your days will be a mix of strategy and delivery, some days, you'll be at home or in Birmingham, planning your next moves. Other times, you'll be jumping on a plane, out at trade shows, connecting with partners, and getting a real sense of who your ideal partners are.
As International Distribution Manager you are someone thrives on both planning and action, and its not about what you have sold...It's about your experience as an International Distribution Manager.
You've collaborated with distributors before, so you know what a great partner looks like, you can spot when things aren't right, and you're at ease with building something from the ground up.
The salary ranges from £50,000 to £60,000, plus an attractive bonus on top.
There is a pension and Health cash plan as additional benefits.
This is a whole new adventure. You're not just managing an existing pipeline; you're creating one, which means the bonus potential is entirely in your hands.
And once you've established it, and contributed to sizeable growth, there's the potential to expand this into something much larger and even build a team around you.
So, I have 1 final question for you...
Have you ever dreamed of taking something that's already showing promise and transforming it into an established global venture?
