Swan Retail is part of the ClearCourse Group and delivers powerful retail EPOS and back-office software solutions to multi-site and independent retailers across the UK.

- Building professional relationships with retail decision-makers
- Creating development plans, sales forecasts and revenue projections
- Working closely with marketing and SDR teams to maximise campaign performance
- Accurately managing pipeline and activity within HubSpot
- Meeting agreed quarterly revenue and new logo targets
Required:
- Proven success driving new business growth within IT, Tech, SaaS, or Retail Software
- Strong commercial and technical awareness
- Experience managing full sales cycles, including RFP processes
- Strategic and analytical thinking skills
- Strong forecasting and pipeline management capability
- Organised, structured and target-driven
- Experience using CRM systems (HubSpot preferred)
Desirable:

- Experience selling into fashion, department stores, furniture, or specialist retail sectors
- Experience within a PE-backed or scale-up environment
- Strong professional network within retail
- Excellent negotiation and stakeholder management skills
