You will have:

• Proven sales leadership experience in Security , Facilities Management , or a closely related B2B service sector with frontline staffing.
• A track record of meeting and exceeding sales targets—personally and through teams.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and willingness to get out into the field.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Strong understanding of contract sales, bid/tender processes, and long-term client relationship management.
• We are also looking to speak with people looking to step into their first leadership role.

What We Offer

• A senior leadership position with autonomy and influence.
• Competitive salary with a rewarding commission and team bonus structure. There are further benefits available which will be discussed at interview, driving the desire for growth.
• Opportunities for career progression in a growing business.
• Supportive and entrepreneurial team culture.
