Manager
The Company
PIN IoT is a fast-growing, award-winning technology start-up. Established in 2018, PIN has developed a unique solution that leverages cutting-edge technology to address a long-standing problem in the Waste industry.
The waste container is central to the industry’s ability to operate. Without it, waste doesn’t get collected, processed or recycled. Yet fleets of these essential assets are under poor control.
Waste operators lack visibility of how many containers they have, where exactly they are, how long they have been on site with customers, how many are required to service demand or how efficiently the transport operation is delivering the plan . The unfortunate result is large-scale cost inefficiency that also impacts revenue and the ability to serve customers.
The PIN solution tracks waste containers and vehicles in real time, enabling a sustained improvement in industry performance.
To fuel the next phase of growth the Company is seeking to strengthen its management team.
The Role
The Sales Manager will play a critically important role in the business, engaging with new and existing customers to identify, nurture and close new business opportunities. This is no ordinary job. Our mission is to enable the waste operator to increase sales, reduce costs and improve overall performance. The success of our customers in achieving these results is everything. The good news is that these results are already evident. As is the fact that what we are doing is genuinely new which means that we don’t have the level of competition that you may be used to.
The problem we are solving is big, assessed at £200 million every year for UK Roro’s and skips alone. More challenging is that the waste industry doesn’t fully understand how big the problem is. So we need to build awareness, listen, learn, and educate, often deliver small scale projects before we close the bigger opportunities. How we and you engage to make this a reality is important. It will require you to become an expert, take it step by step and bring the best of yourself each and every day.
In return you will take advantage of an unusual opportunity for personal and career development within a business set for transformational growth, become an expert in new technology that will change global industry for the better, and participate in the financial success that we enable for our customers.
Reporting to the CEO, the role will be home based with frequent travel to customer locations throughout the UK, staying overnight where required.
