Sales Director - Photonics/Optics

This could be seen as a remote-based job, but it will involve lots of travel to their Southampton HQ and offices in Spain and North America.

Applicants can be based anywhere in the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Hampshire, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Cambridge, Leeds, South Wales, Oxfordshire, Scotland, Midlands.
