Are you a natural leader with a passion for sales and a drive to make a real impact?

We're offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced Sales Manager to take the reins of a successful, fast-growing B2B business based in Lancashire. This is a management position, ideal for someone who thrives on responsibility, values teamwork, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and lead from the front.

The Role

You'll be overseeing a dynamic team of 12 sales professionals - a mix of Internal Account Managers, Field Sales Representatives, and Business Development Executives - with plans to expand. This is a hands-on leadership role, where you'll coach, support, and energise your team while also personally managing a select portfolio of customer accounts.

You'll play a key part in driving the business from £20 million to £30 million turnover, working closely with Directors, and collaborating across departments to deliver outstanding results.

Sector experience isn't essential - we're looking for talent, not titles. If you're commercially astute, customer-focused, and love creating high-performance teams, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading, mentoring, and motivating a multi-functional sales team
• Driving new business development while nurturing existing customer relationships
• Implementing and managing KPIs to drive accountability and results
• Working closely with marketing and procurement to align strategies
• Providing clear, data-driven reporting and sales forecasts to leadership
• Supporting and inspiring a team culture built on trust, performance, and collaboration
• Staying engaged in front-line sales activity - this is not a desk-only role

Requirements

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience managing sales teams (field and/or internal)
• Strong B2B background with a demonstrable track record of success
• Confident leader with a passion for coaching and team development
• Results-driven, commercially minded, and highly organised
• Strategic thinker with a hands-on, sleeves-up approach
• Excellent communication, decision-making, and influencing skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, CRM tools/HubSpot, and sales performance metrics

Benefits

What You'll Get

• A pivotal role in a stable, well-respected, and profitable business
• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus
• Optional company vehicle
• Supportive and forward-thinking culture with room for growth
• Office-based role with flexibility around working hours
