About Your New Job

• As the Commercial Manager, you will be the daily commercial engine of the business, owning relationships with veterinary customers and managing the distributor network at senior level.

• You will resolve escalated technical support issues, ensuring veterinary customers receive competent, empathetic service.
• You will equip, motivate, and manage distributor sales reps to ensure effective channel performance, reporting consolidated sales to the CEO, and facilitating sensitive commercial discussions while preserving strong relationships.
