Employer: Market-leading UK producer of cell-grown native trees & hedging supplying forestry, utilities, housebuilders, contractors, local authorities, and NGOs.

Following major investment and rapid growth, they are hiring key Sales Managers to own and grow key customer segments and frameworks nationwide.
What you’ll do

* Build multi-year pipelines: contract growing, call-off schedules, and season-by-season demand planning.
* Win tenders & frameworks; negotiate pricing, specs, and service levels to margin targets.
* Forecast with precision (volume, species mix, delivery windows) and feed intelligence to production & operations.
* Visit sites and nurseries; host customer tours; represent the brand at key trade events.
* Maintain clean CRM, report on revenue, margin, win rate, forecast accuracy.
* Collaborate cross-functionally on sustainability, provenance, and biosecurity commitments.
What you’ll bring
* Proven B2B sales success ideally in forestry, environmental services, landscaping, horticulture, or agri-inputs.
* Confidence with tenders/frameworks, longer sales cycles, and multi-stakeholder deals.
* Commercial acuity: pricing, margin management, and contract terms.
* Planning mindset: comfortable shaping species mix and delivery schedules months in advance.
* Excellent stakeholder skills – from site managers to procurement and technical advisors.
* Full UK driving licence; willingness to travel nationally.
Why this move
* Join the UK leader in a category aligned to nature recovery, carbon, and resilient landscapes.
* Sell a product with clear technical and sustainability advantages at national scale.
