Location: Northampton office for the first 6 months, after this the role is fully remote
Working Hours: 08:00-17:00, Monday to Friday

We are a leading polymer bearings and energy chain systems manufacturing company based in Brackmills

Are you looking to join an organisation to build your career while using your digital expertise?

To drive our growth and evolve as a digital organisation we have a new opportunity for a dry-tech digital salesperson to contact and visit our customers virtually. Sales experience is not required, but an interest in engineering, expertise working digitally, customer relations, and problem-solving is required.

These roles are new to igus as we predict that nothing will be the same in the future. By 2025, 80% of B2B sales interactions between suppliers and buyers will take place via digital channels. However, video calls and PowerPoint presentations alone will not be enough for this transformation. Digital tools will replicate the customer interactions of traditional forms of sales.
