Are you a driven, target-focused sales professional ready to take ownership of a high-value patch and win big? Ventro Group is growing its Passive Fire Protection division and we're looking for a Senior Sales Manager to lead new business sales across the public sector, close multi-million pound deals and take on the added responsibility of managing and growing our most important key accounts.
This is first and foremost a sales role. We want a proven new business closer with a strong track record of selling into the public sector - Housing Associations, NHS Trusts and Local Authorities - and landing large, multi-million pound contracts. A background in construction, fire safety or passive fire protection sales is a real advantage, but if you've consistently smashed sales targets and won high-value public sector deals in a face-to-face B2B environment, we want to talk to you.
What you'll be doing
- Driving new business sales across the public sector, proactively generating pipeline and winning high-value contracts with Housing Associations, NHS Trusts and Local Authorities
- Selling consultatively at director and senior stakeholder level, leading complex negotiations and closing multi-million pound deals
- Owning the full sales cycle from prospecting and lead generation through to face-to-face meetings, pitches, proposals and closing
- Taking on the added responsibility of key account management - retaining, developing and growing our most important public sector accounts as their senior point of contact and trusted advisor
- Leading on public sector tenders and bids, shaping winning sales strategy and working closely with internal teams to build a compelling, competitive proposition
- Building and managing your sales pipeline in HubSpot CRM, forecasting accurately and managing your own diary and client visit routes across your territory
- Acting as a senior voice within the sales team, mentoring and coaching colleagues and helping shape wider sales and business development strategy
What we're looking for
- A proven B2B sales professional with 3+ years' experience in new business sales, field sales or business development, and a strong, demonstrable track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets
- Experience selling into the public sector - Housing Associations, NHS Trusts, Local Authorities or similar - with a track record of landing large, multi-million pound deals
- A confident, credible closer who can sell and negotiate at director and senior stakeholder level and lead complex, high-value sales
- Able to combine hunting for new business with the added responsibility of key account management, growing and retaining revenue from existing clients
- Sales experience within construction, fire safety or passive fire protection is a strong advantage, but talented B2B sales professionals from other sectors are very welcome to apply
- Full UK driving licence required
What's in it for you
- Competitive salary - a strong base salary that reflects your seniority and sales experience
- Commission - uncapped commission on top of your salary, the more you sell, the more you earn. OTE £100,000+ per annum.
- Company car - provided for the role. You will be based in our Birmingham branch but will travel to your designated sales patch - London and surrounding.
Sound like you? We'd love to hear from ambitious sales professionals ready to drive new business, close multi-million pound public sector deals and take strategic ownership of a rewarding patch with Ventro Group.
