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 amanagement position, ideal for someone who thrives on responsibility, values teamwork, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and lead from the front.

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.

• 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.
