The position offers an opportunity to shape how we manage complex services quotations globally and to develop processes, capabilities, and tools that enable our sales and portfolio teams to focus more effectively on customers and business development.

Purpose of the Role 

The Director Quotations is responsible for supporting sales areas with complex services quotations and developing the overall customer experience throughout the sales process—from receipt of the RFQ through to receipt of the purchase order.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure sufficient quotation capacity and capability to support the Services business. 

• Lead, develop, and support the quotation team to ensure consistent quality and effective prioritization of quotation activities. 

• Enable sales teams/PSSRs to maximize customer-facing time by providing effective quotation support and enabling appropriate outsourcing of quotation work. 

• Reduce operational and transactional workload for portfolio teams, allowing greater focus on portfolio and business development. 

• Establish effective ways of working between quotation, sales, portfolio, technical, and other relevant functions. 

• Drive standardization, efficiency, and continuous improvement across the Services quotation function. 

Key Accountabilities 

The Director Quotations owns: 

• The Services sales process from RFQ to PO receipt from a quotation perspective. 

• Services quotation capacity and capability. 

• Development and performance of the Services quotation process. 

• Prioritization and management of complex quotation activities. 

• Continuous improvement of quotation tools, processes, and ways of working. 

Your Impact 

The role has a direct influence on: 

• Lead-to-opportunity conversion and sales process effectiveness. 

• Services orders received and quotation hit rate. 

• Quote / no-quote decision-making. 

• Services profitability. 

• Customer satisfaction throughout the RFQ-to-PO process. 

• Quotation response times and on-time delivery. 

• Sales team effectiveness and customer-facing capacity. 

What We Are Looking For 

The successful internal candidate should bring: 

• Strong experience within a Global Services Business, with a solid understanding of our customers, products, services, and commercial processes. 

• Demonstrated experience in quotation, sales, commercial, services, or related business processes. 

• Strong understanding of complex service offerings and commercial proposals. 

• Experience in implementing new processes, or cross-functional business initiatives. 

• Experience in leading a team and creating a culture of high performance.  

• Strong commercial judgment and ability to balance customer requirements, competitiveness, risk, and profitability. 

• Ability to develop and standardize processes across different teams and sales areas. 

• Experience with sales and quotation systems; experience with CPQ or similar digital quotation tools is an advantage. 

• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across Sales, Services, Portfolio, IT, and other functions. 

• A proactive, customer-focused and continuous-improvement mindset. 

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills. 

Why Apply? 

This is an opportunity to take a leadership role in developing Normet’s Services quotation capability and have a direct impact on customer experience, sales effectiveness, and profitable Services growth. 

You will have the opportunity to shape processes and tools, develop quotation capabilities, work closely with sales areas and portfolio teams, and create ways of working that allow our customer-facing teams to spend more time with customers.
