The Role

This is a full-cycle, revenue-generating sales role from day one. You'll take ownership of the complete sales process, from prospecting and relationship building through to negotiation and closing business.

Working across sectors including financial advisers, corporates, charities and private clients, you'll manage your own pipeline with autonomy while receiving full training on products, systems and internal processes.

• Accurately manage sales activity using CRM systems.
• Consistently achieve and exceed revenue targets.

About You

We're looking for an experienced B2B sales professional with a proven history of winning new business. Industry background is far less important than your ability to demonstrate results.

You'll ideally have:

• A proven track record of achieving or exceeding sales targets within a B2B environment.
• Experience managing the entire sales cycle from prospecting through to close.
• Strong commercial awareness and excellent negotiation skills.
• A resilient, self-motivated and ambitious approach.
• The confidence to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

What You'll Receive

• 50,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Realistic OTE of 65- 75k uncapped
• Comprehensive product and systems training
• Opportunity to join a business during an exciting period of growth
• Genuine career progression into senior commercial leadership roles

If you're an experienced business development professional looking for your next challenge within a growing and innovative organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
