Are you a commercially driven Fire + Security Sales professional who thrives in an SME environment and wants full ownership of a region?

Our client is seeking a high-energy, new business-focused Sales Manager to drive the growth of their Fire + Security division across the southern region. This role is about creating opportunity, not inheriting it - building a strong pipeline, winning new clients, and converting installation projects into long-term maintenance and recurring revenue.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who has proven themselves within an SME Fire + Security business and is comfortable operating at pace, without layers of bureaucracy. Youll be trusted to represent the business externally, shape market perception in the region, and position modern, IP-led platforms such as Genetec with credibility and confidence.

• Build and manage a pipeline across FM providers, public sector, corporate estates and specialist verticals

• Grow the contracted maintenance base, recurring revenue, and profitable small works
• Promote IP-based Fire + Security solutions, including Genetec and comparable platforms
• Represent the business at client meetings, site visits, presentations and industry events
• Develop and strengthen supplier, technology and referral partnerships
• Maintain accurate CRM, pipeline reporting and revenue forecasting
• Provide regular insight on performance, market trends and sector feedback

Person Specification

Essential

• Proven background in Fire and Security sector
• Strong IP knowledge with the ability to discuss platforms such as Genetec credibly
• Experience within an SME Fire + Security provider, operating with pace and autonomy
• Demonstrable success in new business acquisition, not just managing existing accounts
• Track record of growing maintenance and contract portfolios, alongside installations
• Comfortable targeting and winning work within FM, corporate or specialist environments
• Commercially astute, confident, resilient and self-managing

Desirable

• Existing network across FM providers, public sector, utilities, transport or complex estates
• Experience securing frameworks, PSLs or long-term service contracts

Why Apply?

This role offers genuine autonomy, clear commercial influence, and the opportunity to take ownership of a key region as if it were your own business. Youll be backed with a strong offering, modern technology platforms, and a remuneration package designed to reward growth and retention.

Package includes:

• 50,000-60,000 basic salary (up to 65,000 for an outstanding candidate)
• Car allowance of 7,000
• c.30% OTE linked to growth and retention performance
• 100k+ realistic on-target earnings
