Are you an organised, detailed, and results-oriented professional who thrives on methodically implementing processes and leading teams to achieve consistent, tangible results? Do you excel in creating stability and ensuring reliability in day-to-day operations, while maintaining a dynamic and proactive approach to achieving ambitious goals?

At Safeguard Armour, we’re looking for a Sales Operations Manager to take ownership of our sales processes, ensuring their successful implementation and leading our sales teams and distributors toward consistent growth. This is a role for someone who values clear processes, stable leadership, and a methodical approach to achieving outstanding results and gaining recognition in a small, growing team.

We are rapidly growing our sales via international distribution partners, and need a detail-oriented, consistent operational manager to ensure consistency and accountability to the KAMs. This is a hybrid job, ideally 1-2 days a week in our Leeds office; we will consider remote for the right candidate.

Ensure the Reliable Implementation of Processes:

• Take charge of executing established sales and operational systems with precision and consistency.
• Use attention to detail and consistency to manage channel sales data from global channels.
• Manage distributors and Key Account Managers (KAMs) to ensure all procedures are followed accurately, fostering stability and reliability across all operations.
• Lead and support KAMs and distributors by providing clear guidance, tools, and resources to meet company objectives.
• Act as a stabilizing force within the team, ensuring everyone is aligned with their goals and has the clarity needed to succeed.

Coordinate and manage tender projects

• Take charge of executing and organizing detailed tender proposals.
• Work with product, supply, and marketing teams to lead RFI/RFQ proposals.

Drive Measurable Results Through Detailed Execution:

• Methodically implement sales strategies that deliver clear and visible results, ensuring distributors and teams meet or exceed KPIs.
• Proactively monitor performance, address gaps, and make adjustments to drive consistent, tangible improvements.
• Build strong working relationships with distributors, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to succeed.
• Focus on practical problem-solving and ensuring distributors are consistently aligned with company objectives.

Maintain Accountability and Team Alignment:

• Regularly track team and distributor performance against clear benchmarks, providing structured updates and guidance to ensure progress toward goals.
• Support the seamless coordination of tender submissions, ensuring all steps are completed methodically and on schedule.

Who You Are

• Methodical Achiever: You excel at implementing processes and ensuring everything runs smoothly, while maintaining a proactive and dynamic approach to achieving results.
• Reliable Leader: You value stability and clarity, providing consistent leadership that helps your team stay aligned and focused.
• Goal-Oriented and Practical: You thrive on achieving visible, measurable results through step-by-step execution and effective team collaboration.
• Proactive and Dynamic: You bring energy and ambition to your work, taking ownership of challenges and driving consistent improvements.

Why This Role is Perfect for You

• You take pride in achieving results through clear, structured implementation and stable leadership.
• You value opportunities to lead teams and ensure reliable success through consistent processes and practical problem-solving.
• You are motivated by recognition for your contributions and opportunities to grow into senior leadership roles, such as Sales Operations Manager, within 12-18 months.
• You thrive in roles that require a methodical approach to ambitious goals, balancing stability and proactive execution.
