International Sales Executive

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a commercially minded International Sales Executive to join a well-established, globally recognised manufacturer supplying premium products to leading international brands.

This is a high-impact, relationship-driven role focused on developing and managing B2B partnerships across international markets, with a strong emphasis on European travel and regular face-to-face client engagement.


The Role

This position offers a structured progression path, with initial exposure to internal teams to build strong product and operational knowledge before transitioning into a fully client-facing, international sales role.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Client Relationship Management
    Building and maintaining long-term relationships with fashion designers, buyers, and key decision-makers from premium global brands.
  • Full Sales Cycle Ownership
    Managing the entire process from enquiry through to delivery, including quotations, sample coordination, and working closely with production and logistics teams.
  • European Travel & Client Engagement
    Travelling regularly across Europe to meet clients, attend meetings, and represent the business at international trade shows and exhibitions (all travel fully expensed).
  • Commercial & Systems Management
    Accurately managing orders and customer data within internal systems (e.g. SAP), ensuring a smooth and efficient sales process.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Experienced in a sales or customer-facing role (minimum 3 years)
  • Confident engaging with international clients and senior stakeholders
  • Commercially driven, organised, and detail-oriented
  • Comfortable working with technical or product-led solutions
  • A full UK driving licence holder with a valid passport (essential)

Experience within manufacturing, textiles, or technical products would be advantageous but is not essential.


What’s on Offer

  • £35,000 – £40,000 basic salary
  • Annual performance-related bonus
  • Significant European travel opportunities
  • Office-based role in Rochdale when not travelling
  • Exposure to global brands and international markets
  • Structured progression and development

A brilliant opportunity for someone looking to combine commercial sales with international travel, working within a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
