An exceptional opportunity for an outstanding Sales Manager / Director to move into the hugely rewarding education ICT sector in a profitable, market leading and highly respected company with significant growth plans.

SpaceKraft (54-staff / £4.9m revenues) provides Special Educational Needs products and bespoke multi sensory technology solutions predominantly to the education sector, but also to NHS, charities and care homes across the UK and export markets. The company was recently acquired by RM Group (UK’s ‘Top IT Employer and 2200 staff worldwide) yet still operates as an independent subsidiary.

The purpose of this newly created role is to help double revenues in the next 3 years by introducing a more proactive sales approach, developing customer relationships at a more strategic level, taking advantage of significant Government education transformation programmes such as ‘Building Schools for the Future’, exploring other previously untapped opportunities particularly in education and elderly care and expanding more fully into Europe through distributor partners.

Reporting to the MD, this role sits on the business leadership team and you should expect to be very actively involved in broader elements such as business strategy and product & market opportunity development. This represents a unique chance to work in a commercially dynamic and highly worthy company at a time of progressive change and growth.
