What you see here is what is open right now.

UK & Ireland covers United Kingdom and Ireland – one search instead of 2 separate ones, which is how most sales territories are cut anyway.

Area sales managers are responsible for the customers and the revenue of a defined territory. They advise customers on site, negotiate prices and frame contracts, and win new accounts.

Area sales managers are the backbone of industrial field sales. They own a defined territory, visit customers and prospects most days of the week, prepare offers together with inside sales and engineering, and close. Success is measured on order intake and new accounts. Employers look for technical training or solid product knowledge, a structured approach to territory planning and the drive to open doors that are still closed.

Few of these ads state a salary. Industrial employers often discuss pay in the first interview – our salary benchmarks show what to expect: More on median, range and source: what a Area Sales Manager earns across Europe.
