Job description

Head of Sales

A leadership change has opened the door for a different kind of approach, one that brings sales and relationships back to the centre of things.

Have you ever walked into a business and thought I could really do something here—just that sense that with the right person guiding the sales team, the whole place could move with a bit more purpose?

That is where this Head of Sales role sits. Operations is covered by someone experienced leading the way, keeping everything ticking along.

And commercially you will not be doing this alone; you will be working closely with the Group Sales Director, someone who understands the wider plan and wants you to take ownership of the day‑to‑day. As Head of Sales there is support when you need it, but space to lead in your own way.

As Head of Sales, you will bring the team together, help them see the bigger picture, and give them the confidence that comes with having clear direction. They don't need micromanaging; they just need someone who can guide them and make the sales side feel joined up. This is very much project‑based sales, as someone who is used to longer tender processes, you will know exactly what that means.

This isn't selling something quick or transactional.

Key expectations

• Its relationship led.
• Its patient.
• You know that those early conversations matter just as much as the conversations that happen months down the line.

If you have sold a technical product into the transport sector, or you have experience selling display or VA equipment, the discussions here will feel familiar.

As Head of sales, you have energy and drive, but are detailed and thorough. The product is trusted, the team is capable, and the business is good—they need you to uncover what else and what's next.

It is simply evolving and ready for someone who wants to grow with it. I see you as someone who will step naturally into the Sales Director role once the foundations are in place, you will be given the backing and support to make this a reality.

You do not need to be an engineer; what matters is curiosity, the way you listen, and how naturally you turn what you learn into conversations that make sense for customers and for your team.

You will be based within an hour's commute from the Leicestershire area, some days in the office with the team, plenty of days out meeting customers across the UK and overseas. You are someone who loves to travel with your work and can adapt to different cultures globally.

Benefits

Salary is £70,000 to £80,000 plus a £30,000 bonus and a company vehicle plus other benefit.

If you enjoy leading people, prefer a thoughtful, project‑led sales approach, and want a Head of Sales role with a clear path to Sales Director, this could be a great fit.

The business has retained Marshall Harmony to find the right person for this role. This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony. You will not be contacted by any third parties.
