A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression – join BSS as a Regional Hire Development Manager and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.

This is a new opportunity that encompasses operational, supplier, central function, people and customer / sales responsibilities.

  • A point of escalation when branches are struggling to find stock OR other branches are not releasing.

  • Engage with Key Accounts for the region.
  • Give the THM’s a structure for escalation with customer complaints / negotiating projects etc.
  • Drive the contact strategy for THMs in the region, focusing primarily on our key accounts. 
  • Utilise tool hire dashboard to find each branch's ‘quick wins’ and support the  approach to these customers immediately to try to get us back on track.
  • Supporting, managing & coaching THMs with their customer contact strategy
  • Be pivotal in the implementation and execution of the region’s strategic plan.


What are we looking for?

  • The ideal applicant should be a confident and well organised individual with great communication skills to maximise our opportunities.
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to interpret information will also be key along with previous multi-site experience working within a matrix business environment. 
  • Strong stakeholder management experience.
  • Strong leadership skills, Remote management of teams is important as well as stakeholder management experience. 
  • Strong presentation skills. 
  • You will have delivered a similar role in a previous business (this can be in an ajasant/out of sector business).
