Global Sales Lead

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

Isembard has grown quickly, and we now need a sales organisation that can scale with it. This is a senior, hands-on role working directly with our CEO on how Isembard grows.

You will lead sales across the UK, US, Germany and France, sell to engineering-led customers in aerospace, defence, energy and robotics, and build the team, process and structure behind our next stage of growth.

• Own sales globally: strategy, targets and results.

• Lead complex enterprise deals yourself, not only through others.

• Design the sales structure across business development, closing and account management, and hire into it.

• Build pipeline discipline, forecasting and CRM practice so decisions rest on reliable data.

• Work with factory, CAM and quality teams so that what we sell, we can make on time.

What you bring

• Hands-on enterprise sales experience, with a record of closing complex, technical deals.

• Experience building and leading a sales team in a scaling company.

• Credibility with engineers, and comfort discussing how parts are made.

• Commercial judgement in a business with physical constraints on capacity and delivery.

• Comfort with ambiguity and building structure from scratch.

• Useful, not essential: a manufacturing background, aerospace, defence, space or hardware sales, or selling across the UK, Europe and the US.
