Head of Sales - UK

CSG Talent are working exclusively with a UK-based engineering scale-up developing a purpose-built heavy electric off-highway vehicle for the mining industry.

The company is transitioning from prototype validation into early commercial scale, with pre-production vehicles already operating with mining customers to generate real-world performance data.

Due to a recent successful funding round, they are hiring a Head of Sales to own commercial execution, secure early fleet customers, and convert prototype engagement into contracted revenue. This is a hands-on, hunter-led leadership role reporting directly to the CEO.

The focus market is the UK and Northern European mining industry, followed by expansion into Africa and Latin America. You will have a strong network across the mining industry, with experience in mining technology, equipment, or mine owners.

The key responsibilities for this role include:

• Own the full sales cycle from pipeline generation to contract close
• Secure early mining and heavy industry fleet customers across Europe
• Convert trials, demos, and early engagement into binding commercial agreements
• Build and manage pipeline across mining operators, fleet leasing, and industrial customers
• Develop and negotiate TCO-based commercial proposals with senior stakeholders
• Deliver early fleet sales aligned to production targets
• Maintain disciplined CRM, forecasting, and commercial reporting
• Work closely with engineering and leadership to feed customer insight into product and pricing
• Represent the business at customer sites, demonstrations, and industry events

The ideal candidate for this role will have:

• Proven success in B2B sales of complex, high-value industrial products
• Experience selling into mining, heavy industry, utilities, infrastructure, or similar sectors

• Background in mining technology & OEMs, fleet leasing, or industrial vehicle sales
• Existing mining industry network across the UK
• Experience in early-stage or scale-up hardware businesses

• Strong hunter mentality with commercial urgency
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure
• Fluent English (written and spoken) and UK right to work
