At ZX Lidars we are quietly changing the world by solving problems with science and making a positive contribution towards the environment. We are ‘the’ pioneering Original Equipment Manufacturer of ‘Lidar’, Headquartered in Worcestershire and with further offices in Glasgow. Our team of pioneering innovators and experts (our ZX Family) designs, develops, produces, sells, and supports ground-breaking world leading products that have changed, and continue to change, the way wind is measured. In doing so, ZX Lidars has facilitated the acceleration of the development of wind projects around the world.
We would love to hear from you if you would like to join our dynamic and passionate commercial team and contribute to our mission and vision to deploy Lidar technology on every commercial wind project globally, be disruptive and to make a difference.
We are a future. Perhaps we are the future you are looking for too?
ZX?Lidars is entering a bold new phase of scale, diversification and market expansion and we are searching for an exceptional Commercial Director to shape and deliver the next chapter of our commercial success.
As a key member of the Senior Management Team, the Commercial Director will define and execute the company’s commercial strategy across products, services and global markets. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will act as the company’s senior commercial voice, ensuring strong alignment between customer needs, product direction and long-term investment priorities.
This is a rare opportunity to take a pivotal leadership role in a trusted, technology business whose lidar solutions are delivered worldwide.
While this is a senior leadership role, it is also a hands-on commercial position. The Commercial Director will be actively involved in the day-to-day rhythm of sales and business development, working closely with customers, partners and internal teams. This includes attending key trade events and industry exhibitions, representing ZX?Lidars with credibility, insight and commercial authority.
This blend of strategic leadership and real-world commercial engagement makes the role uniquely impactful. You will shape the commercial engine of a globally recognised lidar innovator while staying close to customers, opportunities and market dynamics.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have thrived in smaller, fast-moving organisations, environments where commercial leaders are close to customers, deeply involved in execution and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical delivery. Experience within the wind and wider renewables sector would be highly advantageous, given the markets we serve, though we are equally open to commercially strong candidates from automotive, aerospace or similar high-technology, engineering-led fields where complex products, long sales cycles and technical customer engagement are central to success.
If you come from a business where you’ve had to wear multiple hats, build processes as you scale and drive growth through both leadership and personal contribution, this role will play to your strengths. If you are a commercial leader who thrives on growth, complexity and innovation and who enjoys being as comfortable in the boardroom as on the exhibition floor, we would love to hear from you.
This is a permanent, full-time role working 35 hours per week, based at our modern, purpose-built facility in Willow End (Blackmore Park Road, Welland, Malvern WR13 6BD) offering a hybrid work pattern.
