Job description

£100,000 basic plus £20,000 bonus, car package and equity within five years

Why this one is worth a look:

• Build and run a new sales function for a long-established, highly successful business
• Come in to shape the approach, the processes and the team, and do it your way
• A loyal customer base and real momentum, now backed by investment to reach its next peak
• Genuine seniority, working alongside the owners and board, with equity within five years
• £100,000 basic plus £20,000 bonus, car package and equity, hybrid in Scotland

The business

An established and highly respected provider of business services to the private and public sector, with a loyal customer base built over more than two decades. After significant investment and a real step up in capacity, they are ready for the next chapter in their growth, and for the first time they are building a dedicated sales function to drive it. This is a business that has grown on reputation and relationships, and now wants to add professional, proactive sales leadership to match its ambitions.

The role

This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role to develop that sales function and run it. You will be bringing outside expertise into a business that is rightly proud of its journey, so a consultative, considered approach matters as much as commercial drive. You will shape the processes, build and lead the team, look after and grow the established customer base, and open up new business across the private and public sector. It is a broad remit with real ownership, the whole of sales, built and led by you, with the backing to get it right.

About you

You are a rounded, professional sales leader who has built or reshaped a sales function before. You lead by example, you develop people, and you think commercially about how a business grows, not just how a deal closes. You are comfortable coming into an established business and earning trust, respecting what has been built while bringing the structure and best practice to take it to its next peak. Your sector background is open; it is your leadership, your commercial thinking and your fit that matter most.

The package

£100,000 basic salary, a £20,000 bonus, a car package, and equity in the business within five years for the right person. Hybrid working, based in Scotland. Real seniority from day one, working closely with the owners and board as the business moves into its next phase.
