Area Sales Manager - North East & Cumbria

Join VELUX

Ready to sell something you actually believe in?

If you're a natural people person with B2B sales experience and a knack for spotting opportunities, we've got a role where you can own your patch, grow your network, and make a real impact.

At VELUX, we're not just selling roof windows — we're redefining indoor living. Our products bring natural light and fresh air into homes and buildings across the world. Healthier, brighter spaces? That's what we do.

Now we're looking for someone like you to be the face of VELUX across the North East & Cumbria area covering the CA, DH, DL, NE, SR, TS Postcodes.

What You'll Be Doing

This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the field, meeting with our dealer and installer partners — building strong relationships, championing our solutions, and helping them grow their businesses (while growing yours).

You'll:

• Manage Independent Dealer Head Office accounts
• Inspire dealers and installers to choose VELUX as their go-to brand
• Identify new opportunities and turn conversations into sales
• Deliver on plans with smart sales and marketing tactics
• Bring energy, insight, and commercial acumen to every interaction

And you won't do it alone — you'll have a supportive team, strong tools, and a respected brand behind you.

Who You Are

You're the kind of person who doesn't wait for doors to open — you knock. And if no one answers, you find a window (hopefully a VELUX one).

You're curious, confident, and always looking to turn a "maybe" into a "yes." You genuinely enjoy talking to people and building long-term relationships that matter.

You're motivated by results, but not at the expense of integrity. You know that trust sells better than pressure — and you lead with value, not volume.

You probably have:

• A few years' experience in B2B field sales, ideally managing a territory
• A knack for storytelling and influencing decisions
• A sharp commercial eye and the discipline to manage your pipeline
• The tech basics down — CRM tools, email, PowerPoint, you name it
• Experience in construction or working with trades? Great — but not essential

Above all, you're ready to bring energy, purpose, and a little personality to the job.

Why VELUX?

Because we do more than make windows — we help people live better. We've been leading the way in sustainable indoor climate solutions for over 80 years, and we're just getting started.

At VELUX, you'll find:

• A genuine, values-led culture
• Freedom to shape your role and your region
• Colleagues who care — and know their stuff
• Big goals, bold innovation, and real opportunities to grow

We're serious about making buildings healthier and more sustainable — and we want you to help us spread the word.
