About This Opportunity

At Lloyds Banking Group, we provide businesses with seamless payment solutions through Cardnet. Working alongside Fiserv, one of the world’s largest card processors, we deliver reliable and secure solutions to businesses of all sizes.

We’re offering an exciting opportunity to shape a brand new role, and be part of a dynamic team with a focus on supporting our field sales and relationship management function across the country. This nationwide role will require regular travel, allowing you to build strong connections and drive impact at both individual and team levels.

You will play a vital role in supporting colleague development through coaching, training, and feedback. With extensive experience in merchant acquiring, you’ll use your expertise to monitor, assess, and enhance colleague performance, providing constructive feedback and tailored action plans that empower colleagues to excel.

Collaborating closely with line managers, you’ll analyse colleague data to identify patterns, address skill gaps, and drive meaningful development at both individual and team levels. Your insights will help build a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring our team reaches its full potential.

In addition to supporting performance management, you’ll develop and implement tailored training programs that meet the unique needs of individuals and teams. By providing line managers with data-driven insights and recommendations based on observations and performance analysis, you’ll play a key role in shaping colleague growth and success.

As well as colleague development, we’ll need you to contribute to the development and execution of sales strategies to achieve our business objectives. You’ll do this through identifying opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling within the client base and collaborating with marketing and product teams to ensure alignment of sales efforts with company goals.

• Proven experience in sales coaching or a similar role.

• Solid understanding of sales processes and techniques.

• Experience in performance management and colleague development.

• Ability to build and manage relationships at all levels, not being afraid to challenge all levels.
