This role is ideal for a technically credible sales professional who enjoys owning the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed order.

  • New business targets met or exceeded, with a high quotation-to-order conversion rate.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Win new business

  • Identify and target companies needing electronics manufacturing, wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, or a combination.
  • Actively pursue harnessing customers, including those with no EMS requirement.
  • Generate leads through networking, cold calling, industry events and trade shows.
  • Convert RFQs into orders, negotiate where needed and follow up consistently on every quotation.
Own the sales cycle
  • Lead the full cycle from lead generation to contract negotiation and close.
  • Gather customer specifications, drawings and requirements to support accurate quotations.
  • Work closely with Production, Harnessing, Engineering and Quality Assurance to ensure client requirements are understood and met.
  • Prepare and present compelling proposals that showcase manufacturing and harnessing capabilities.
Grow the market
  • Research the market and competitor landscape to identify opportunities in both sectors.
  • Develop and drive marketing strategies, campaigns, promotional material and events that build brand awareness and generate leads.
Deliver results and great client experiences
  • Build annual sales forecasts and budgets; track performance against targets.
  • Report regularly on leads, RFQs, quotations, orders, new customers, market trends and competitor activity.
  • Oversee the customer experience, resolve concerns promptly and use client feedback to improve service.

Requirements

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
What you'll bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Engineering or a related field.
  • 5–7 years' experience in new business development or sales within the electronics and/or harnessing manufacturing sector.
  • A proven track record of winning new business in the electronics or manufacturing industry.
  • Strong understanding of contract manufacturing processes, electronic components and industry standards.
  • Proficiency in CRM software and sales tools to manage leads and track performance.
Advantageous
  • Knowledge of wiring harnesses and cable assemblies and their manufacturing requirements, with relevant sales experience.

  • Exposure across two growing sectors: electronics contract manufacturing and harnessing.
  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.
