Head of IT Systems Sales – Strategic Growth Leader

Are you a strategic sales leader with a passion for driving growth in IT systems solutions? Novatech have a long history of building IT systems - from servers and storage to retail PCs and systems and then selling them directly to education and corporate partners or retailing them online and in-store. We’re growing, and to support our growth, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new role for a dynamic Head of Systems Sales. This is a pivotal position which is focused purely on leadership and management and not trying to balance this having to achieve your own personal sales targets.

What you’ll do:

• Develop and execute a systems sales strategy aligned with company objectives and market trends.
• Lead, coach, and empower a talented sales team to achieve ambitious targets (team is circa 7 people - from 'Account Director' to 'Account Manager' level).
• Collaborate with all business functions, including operational, engineering, and marketing teams to deliver solutions.
• Monitor market developments and competitor activity to inform strategic decisions.
• Drive forecasting, pipeline planning, and present actionable insights to senior leadership.
• Support the business and sales team in representing Novatech at industry events and customer meetings.
• Work with key vendor partners and distributors to ensure consistent supply and strong innovation.
• Champion a culture of collaboration and customer-centricity.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be a commercially astute, customer-focused leader who thrives on collaboration and delivering results. With a strategic mindset and sharp analytical skills, you’ll spot opportunities, anticipate market trends, and stay ahead of competitor activity. Your expertise with CRM systems and sales performance tools will help you drive efficiency and impact. But what truly sets you apart is your ability to inspire a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. Most importantly, you’ll have a ‘together, we win’ approach, where success for you means empowering your team to achieve outstanding collective results.

We’re all about your wellbeing and regularly organise team events, employee awards, and charity dos. We also care about the environment and have won awards for our efforts, which include being a net positive business (meaning we put more energy back into the grid than we use – which we are super proud of!).
