Sales Director 

Peterborough  

£115,000-£120,000 (OTE £160,000+) + Uncapped Bonus + 6% Pension + Profit Share + Company Events + Career Progression 

Are you a Sales Director, Head of Sales or senior sales leader with extensive experience scaling high-performing sales teams, looking for the autonomy to take ownership of an established sales function and drive significant commercial growth?

On offer is the opportunity to join an ambitious, founder-led business where you'll work directly with the Managing Director and founders and have genuine influence over the future commercial direction of the company. You'll join an entrepreneurial, performance-driven culture where team members push each other to succeed, invest in their own development and, in many cases, actively build their own property investments and portfolios. 

In this role, you'll take ownership of the sales function, developing the managers beneath you while driving revenue, conversion and performance across the business. You'll be expected to be highly visible and hands-on, challenging existing processes, analysing the numbers, coaching managers and salespeople and identifying opportunities to scale both the team and its commercial output.

This role would suit a hungry and commercially aggressive sales leader who can demonstrate a strong track record of scaling teams and significantly increasing revenue. You'll be someone who naturally challenges the status quo, holds people accountable and relentlessly looks for ways to improve performance, while remaining an inspiring and nurturing leader who can get the very best from the people around them. 

The Role

• Take ownership of the sales function within an established 30-person business.
• Lead, coach and develop sales managers and their teams.
• Drive revenue, conversion and overall sales performance.
• Challenge existing processes and identify commercial growth opportunities.
• Scale and strengthen the sales function as the business grows.
• Build a highly accountable, performance-driven sales culture.
• Work closely with the Managing Director, founders and senior leadership team.

The Person

• Extensive experience leading and scaling sales teams.
• Proven track record of significant revenue growth.
• Hungry, commercially aggressive and performance-driven.
• Strong coaching and people-development skills.
• Hands-on leadership style with high levels of accountability.
• Comfortable within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
