Head of Charity Sales - Bath, United Kingdom - Ling Design Limited

Description

Ling Design and
The Great British Card Company (GBCC) are both well established, and successful, companies that design and supply a range of greetings cards and giftware and form part of the Swan Mill Group.

We have an exciting opportunity available to lead our successful charity team working across both Ling Design and The Great British Card Company.

With a brief to increase the sales penetration with existing and new accounts of our range of high quality greetings cards, giftware and associated product lines, the successful applicant will also be responsible for the management of several key accounts and prospects.

Additionally working outside of charity, you will take the division's skills into other high street accounts which require a bespoke product or service.

Having a good understanding of the charity sector (plus wider market) and experience in product development, coupled with an understanding of our manufacturing capabilities and critical path planning will give you the key skills to successfully undertake this role.

Strong commercial and organisational skills in a fast moving, time sensitive and demanding FMCG type environment will also be needed.

Do you have:

• At least three years' experience in a senior sales role?
• Experience of selling a bespoke product category?
• Have experience in selling product to charities or the equivalent?
• A keen eye for design?
• Good commercial ability?
