The Opportunity

At Phorest Salon Software, Sales Managers are more than team leads, they are commercial operators and regional strategists. As Sales Manager, you’ll own the success of a regional sales function, shaping strategy, driving predictable revenue growth, and building a high-performing, empowered team. You’ll act as the bridge between global strategy and local execution, translating market insights, customer needs, and commercial data into clear plans that deliver results. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution and someone who can coach talent, remove blockers, and continuously raise the bar on performance while keeping a sharp eye on the numbers. If you’re excited by scaling teams, building systems, and delivering sustainable ARR growth in a fast-paced SaaS environment, this is your chance to have real ownership and impact.

• Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing regional sales team, creating a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Set a clear strategy and direction, empowering your team to deliver against ambitious revenue targets.
• Own quarterly and annual ARR goals, driving consistent, predictable performance. Use data and pipeline insights to identify trends, optimise conversion rates, and improve forecasting accuracy.
• Spot opportunities and risks early, adjusting plans to stay ahead of the market.
• Remove commercial and operational blockers so your team can focus on selling.
• Partner closely with Product, Marketing, and Global Sales to align priorities and unlock growth.
• Represent your region’s voice with senior leadership, influencing strategy and decision-making.
• Continuously refine sales processes and ways of working to increase efficiency, deal velocity, and impact.
• Act as a trusted industry expert for the salon, spa, and aesthetics space, bringing customer insight back into the business.
