Job description

Home-based anywhere in the UK (field-based role) | High-activity new business "hunter"

We’re hiring a proven new-business sales professional to drive UK growth by winning business with large multi-site operators—selling into head office decision-makers at national groups (not individual site-by-site selling, and not maintaining an inherited account base). This is a true hunter role: you’ll be expected to create demand, open doors at HQ level, and convert opportunities through consistent outbound activity and a structured sales approach.

Key responsibilities

• Own full-cycle new business development across the UK, with a head-office-led approach: identify and win multi-site operators by engaging HQ stakeholders and converting opportunities through to close.
• High-volume outbound prospecting (phone-led outreach is central to this role) to open doors with decision-makers and influencers at group level.
• Build and manage a healthy pipeline: account mapping of target groups (HQ + key regional/site stakeholders), outreach sequences, follow-ups, and disciplined progression to close.
• Plan and run territory activity: weekly targets, meetings, and clear reporting on activity, pipeline value, stage movement, and outcomes.
• Travel for face-to-face meetings with prospects/partners (UK-wide) when it helps accelerate deals.

What we’re looking for

• Energetic, driven, high-pace sales professional with a clear "hunter" mindset and comfort selling into senior stakeholders at head office.
• Demonstrable track record of new-logo wins and self-generated pipeline, ideally with complex/multi-site operator environments.
• Previous experience selling products (not services), with the ability to run a structured, repeatable sales process.
• Comfortable with cold calling and persistent outbound activity (you don’t rely on tenders/inbound only).
• Commercial confidence: you can qualify properly, handle objections, negotiate, and close.
• Resilient and positive: you bring momentum, ownership, and consistency day-to-day.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationally when required.

Package

• Competitive basic salary (aligned to proven, recent performance) + commission/bonus.
• Car allowance or company car.
• Support, tools and autonomy to build the patch properly.
