Sales Manager
We're looking for an experienced Sales Team Manager to lead, develop and inspire a high-performing sales team at our South Cerney Head Office.

Excellent communication, organisational and stakeholder management skills.
Highly Desirable

This Role Is Likely To Suit You If You Have
Led a team of sales advisors, consultants or account managers.
Built high-performing teams through coaching and development.
Used sales metrics and performance data to improve conversion rates.
Enjoyed spending time developing people rather than focusing solely on your own sales performance.
Experience handling both high performance and underperformance effectively.
This Role Is Probably Not For You If
Your experience is primarily as a Business Development Manager, Account Executive or individual sales contributor.
You've mentored colleagues but haven't directly managed and developed a sales team.
You're looking for a predominantly field-based or remote sales role.
Why Join Us?
This is an onsite leadership role based at our South Cerney Head Office.
We believe the strongest sales cultures are built through visible leadership, collaboration and real-time coaching. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with your team, influence performance every day and make a genuine impact on both individual careers and business results.
