We find hard-to-find people for hard-to-fill roles across 6 key specialist areas: Security Engineering, Fire, Integration, Talent, Contract, Sales. We’re straightforward to work with because we keep things simple. We work with clients throughout the whole security technology supply chain, delivering meaningful placements for companies and candidates we believe in.
Are you a dynamic leader with a strong background in sales and commercial strategy within the fire sector?
Our client, a leading provider in the fire suppression industry, is seeking a Commercial Manager to drive growth, manage key relationships, and lead high-performing sales teams. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that values innovation, customer focus, and long-term partnerships, and is about to enter an exciting phase of growth that you will regret not being a part of.
About the Company:
Our client is a specialist in the maintenance and management of fire suppression systems, offering services such as periodic pressure testing, recovery, recycling, certification, and storage of fire suppression agents, including Halons, HFCs, and other ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Their expert technical support and commitment to safety sets them apart in the industry, and they are at a critical point of expansion that you have the opportunity to be a part of.
Their culture is built on collaboration, integrity, and excellence. Employees are empowered to take initiative, develop professionally, and contribute to a growing business that is expanding its market share both domestically and internationally – and you will not only be championed to do this yourself, but you will drive the sales function and establish these values within your own team.
The Role:
As Commercial Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s sales strategy, driving business growth, and managing a team of internal and external sales professionals. Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will be responsible for identifying new business opportunities, strengthening relationships with key OEMs, and ensuring profitability through strategic pricing and contract negotiations. You do not necessarily need an in-depth knowledge within their specific area of fire suppression, as this can be taught, however a strong understanding of the fire industry and a relevant contact base will be essential for being successful in this role.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Proven experience in a commercial leadership role within the fire suppression, fire safety, or related technical industry.
- Strong B2B sales and business development skills, with a track record of securing high-value contracts.
- Experience working with major OEMs and key industry stakeholders.
- Excellent leadership, negotiation, and strategic planning abilities.
- A proactive, results-driven mindset with a passion for driving business success.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior commercial leadership role with a company that is primed for growth. If you are a strategic thinker with the ability to build and lead teams form the ground, we want to hear from you!
