1. Why this role exists
On contribution and market potential, VAS-RealEdge is a business in its own right, not a tail on TMT. It needs a dedicated leader and a dedicated team. Today the go-to-market engine for fabricators, the DAP layer, is missing, and Galva competitors are moving to lock the fabricator counter before SRMB does. The window to take early share is open now and will not stay open.
This role owns the VAS-RealEdge business end to end: its profit and loss, its four-zone sales organisation, its technical services and quality, and the fabricator go-to-market it must still build. The mandate is simple to state and hard to do: build early market share, extract reach into the fabricator store, grow Real Galva sales density, and win fabricator loyalty before the Galva players do.
2. What this role owns
- The VAS profit and loss. Own volume, revenue, margin and contribution for the full VAS-RealEdge portfolio across all four zones.
- Fabricator-store reach. Extend and deepen SRMB's presence in the fabricator store, and extract reach where competitors are not yet entrenched.
- Real Galva density. Grow Galva sales per active fabricator counter, and make Real Galva the default choice against competing Galva brands.
- Fabricator loyalty. Build the loyalty and engagement that keeps the fabricator with SRMB, counter by counter.
- Team and go-to-market. Lead the zonal sales, technical services and quality teams, and stand up the fabricator go-to-market (DAP) that does not yet exist.
3. Key responsibilities
- Win early market share. Move fast to take share in structures, fabrication and Galva before the Galva players close the fabricator counter.
- Build the DAP go-to-market. Design and staff the fabricator sales excellence engine, the missing DAP layer, and make it the way SRMB reaches and activates fabricators.
- Run a four-zone business. Set zone targets for reach, Galva density and loyalty, and hold the four Zonal VAS Heads to them.
- Lead technical services and quality. Use application support, fabricator training and consistent quality to pull the premium, working through the Head Technical Services VAS and QC SPOC.
- Counter the Galva players. Track competing Galva brands counter by counter and win share with product, service and loyalty, not with price alone.
- Own positioning and demand. Keep RealEdge and Real Galva positioned as premium, engineered products, and feed fabricator demand signal into planning and supply.

6. Who we are looking for
- 15 years and above in sales and marketing of structures and fabrication steel products: hollow sections, galvanised structures, roofing, gates, grills and railings inputs, or allied fabrication steel.
- A civil engineer by background is strongly preferred, given the technical, application-led nature of the fabricator sale.
- Proven profit and loss ownership of a product line or business, not just a sales target.
- Real command of the fabricator and structural channel, and of what wins the fabricator counter.
- Experience building a team and a go-to-market from an early or greenfield stage.
- MBA preferred alongside the engineering base, with solid commercial and people leadership.
7. What good looks like in year one VAS-RealEdge runs as its own business with its own leader and team. The DAP fabricator go-to-market is built and working, fabricator-store reach is climbing, and Real Galva density is rising counter by counter. SRMB is taking early share in the zones that matter, fabricator loyalty is building, and the Galva players are being met and beaten on product, service and relationship. The business looks like the premium franchise it is meant to become.
