Sales Manager - Retail, Leisure & Private Health UK | £70,000-£90,000 + OTE | Sales Leadership | Data, Analytics & Location Intelligence
Ready to lead a sales team AND still be at the sharp end of winning business?
This could be the opportunity for you.
I'm working with a leading data, analytics and location intelligence business that helps some of the UK's best-known consumer brands make smarter commercial decisions - from where they should invest, to how they can increase sales, optimise their networks and understand their customers.
They're now looking for an experienced Sales Manager to lead their Retail, Leisure & Private Health proposition.
What makes this role interesting?
This isn't a role where you'll simply manage a team from the sidelines.
You'll be expected to lead from the front - coaching and developing your team whilst getting personally involved in strategic opportunities, senior client conversations and major deals.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Lead, coach and develop a sales team
- Build and deliver sector sales strategies
- Develop new business and grow strategic accounts
- Engage with senior decision makers and C-suite stakeholders
- Own pipeline, forecasting and sales performance
- Sell data, analytics, technology and consultancy-led solutions
- Identify new sectors, propositions and growth opportunities
- Get involved in complex, high-value bids and negotiations
Who are we looking for?
You'll ideally have 5+ years' B2B sales experience, with a proven track record of winning business and delivering against targets.
You'll be particularly well suited if you have experience in:
- Data / analytics / technology / SaaS
- Marketing services or consultancy
- Retail, leisure or healthcare
- Location intelligence / geodemographics / segmentation
- Real estate or public sector
- Complex, consultative or solution-led sales
And as a leader...
You'll be comfortable setting direction, creating accountability and developing people - but you'll also be happy rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in the deals where you can make the biggest difference.
You'll need to be:
- An excellent communicator
- A strong listener
- Commercially focused
- Collaborative
- Persistent
- Comfortable with numbers, targets and forecastingNatural
- Naturally curious about data and how it can solve business problems
What's on offer?
- £70,000-£90,000 base salary + OTE
- 60/40 base-to-variable split
- Pension contribution
- Private healthcare
- Life & personal accident insurance
- On-site gym
- Dedicated training and development
- Flexible working
- Genuine opportunities for career progression
Why apply?
If you're a sales leader who misses being close to the action, this gives you the chance to do both.
You'll have the responsibility of leading a team, the autonomy to shape sales strategy and the opportunity to work on genuinely interesting commercial challenges where data and insight directly influence revenue and growth.
