Job Description

International Business Developer – Europe (Office‑Based, East Lancashire)
Drive European growth. Build a channel network. Shape a market from the ground up.
A specialist manufacturer of engineered process equipment is looking for a high‑calibre International Business Developer to lead sales growth across key European territories. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a market at an early stage — starting with office‑based prospecting and direct end‑user engagement, then transitioning into a channel‑driven model as agents are appointed across Europe.
If you’re commercially sharp, technically credible, and motivated by building something meaningful rather than inheriting a finished structure, this is a standout role.
What You’ll Be Doing
  * Developing deep relationships with end‑users across France, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Greece and other strategic markets.
  * Prospecting intensively to identify new opportunities and convert them into long‑term customers.
  * Managing and growing a portfolio ranging from SMEs to major industrial accounts.
  * Working hand‑in‑hand with newly appointed agents across Europe — supporting them in the field and driving joint success.
  * Conducting market research and competitive analysis to identify growth opportunities.
  * Collaborating closely with UK, German and US colleagues across sales, technical and product development.
  * Providing technical guidance to customers and partners (with deeper support from application engineers).
  * Representing the business at international trade shows.
  * Driving profitable growth using a value‑selling approach.
What You Bring
  * Experience selling engineered solutions or manufactured industrial products into export markets.
  * A background in industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar technical training with commercial exposure.
  * Strong communication, negotiation and relationship‑building skills.
  * A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset — someone who enjoys opening doors, building markets and shaping strategy.
  * Technical understanding of equipment used in food & beverage, pharma or chemical processing (or similar industrial environments).
  * Fluency in English; French, Spanish or Italian would be a strong advantage.
What’s on Offer
  * A senior‑level package aligned to the impact of the role.
  * A genuinely innovative product portfolio with broad application potential.
  * The chance to build a European market from the ground up — and shape the future channel strategy.
  * Significant career development opportunities within a growing international business.
  * Autonomy, trust and the space to make a real commercial impact.
There is significant room to manouvre on the salary for the right person
