New Business Sales Manager

Print, Direct Mail, POS & Packaging

Brief Role Specification

Location: Nottingham / Hybrid
Employment: Full-time, permanent
Package: Competitive salary, commission and benefits package, dependent on experience

Why join Eight Group?

This is an opportunity to join an ambitious group with strong production capabilities, an experienced team and a clear strategy for growth and diversification.

We offer:

A broad and relevant range of services to take to market
The ability to develop integrated solutions rather than sell a single product
Strong operational, production, creative and client-services support
A recognised commitment to quality, service and sustainability
The opportunity to play a visible and important role in the future growth of Eight Group
A competitive remuneration and commission package

Eight Group has built its reputation by combining high-quality production and creative thinking with responsive, personal service. We want someone who shares our belief that sustainable sales growth comes from delivering value, keeping promises and building relationships that last.

About Us:

Eight Group is looking for an experienced and highly motivated New Business Sales Manager to help drive the next stage of our growth.

We are an established, multi award-winning and B Corp-certified group providing print, direct mail, point-of-sale, packaging, digital and creative services to clients across the UK and internationally.

This is a genuine new-business role for someone who knows the print and marketing communications industry, understands how to identify and develop valuable opportunities, and has a strong track record of converting prospects into long-standing client relationships.

The Role

You will be responsible for identifying, developing and winning new business across our core services:

Digital and commercial print
Direct mail and data-driven communications
Point-of-sale and retail print
Packaging
Creative, design and digital services

You will manage the full sales process—from prospecting and opening doors through to developing solutions, preparing proposals, negotiating commercial terms and securing new accounts.

Just as importantly, you will remain involved after the initial win, working with our client services, creative and production teams to build trusted, profitable and lasting relationships.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate:

Significant sales experience within print, direct mail, POS, packaging or a closely related sector
A strong and verifiable track record of winning new business
Experience developing substantial, long-term client relationships
An established network of relevant contacts and the ability to create opportunities independently
A consultative approach, with the ability to understand a client’s objectives and recommend the right solution
Commercial awareness, including a clear understanding of pricing, margin and profitable growth
Confidence dealing with marketing, procurement and senior decision-makers
The discipline to manage a healthy pipeline and maintain accurate sales forecasts
Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills
The energy, resilience and determination required to succeed in a true new-business position

Experience across several of our key areas would be particularly valuable, but we are equally interested in exceptional candidates with deep expertise in one discipline and the ability to broaden their knowledge.

Interested?

If you have a proven record of winning new clients within print, direct mail, POS or packaging. And are ready for a role where you can make a genuine commercial impact, we would like to hear from you.

Please send your CV, together with a brief introduction outlining your relevant experience and new-business achievements, to lance@eightgroup.co.uk

No recruitment agencies, please.

Eight Group is an equal-opportunities employer. We welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates from all backgrounds.
