Are you ready to lead the charge in transforming how we power homes sustainably?

We’re expanding our Low Carbon Energy Products Team so we're looking for an experienced Sales Team Leader who will be responsible for inspiring and managing a frontline sales team bringing low-carbon solutions, like Heat Pumps and Solar Panels, to households across the country.

As a Sales Team Leader your team will be the face and the voice of Octopus Energy Services, working directly with customers and guiding them on their journey to adopting low-carbon solutions in their homes. You’ll focus on coaching, team development, driving performance, and ensuring exceptional customer experiences every step of the way.

An interest in sustainability is a must along with a passion for bringing to life the real benefits of our offer and understanding the importance of providing customers with a truly exceptional experience.

What You'll Do

• Drive Results: Manage your sales team to identify and win new business with customers, achieving and exceeding sales targets
• Optimise Workflows: Distribute and manage sales leads across your team and ensure these are managed in a timely manner
• Inspire Excellence: Cultivate a high-performance culture through regular 1:1 coaching, clear goal setting, and actionable feedback
• Grow Your Team: Recruit and nurture talent to build a high-performing team
• Deliver Exceptional Customer Experience: Ensure your team provides outstanding customer service, capturing customer feedback to continuously improve
• Collaborate: Share best practices with your colleagues and develop a consistent approach to drive performance across all teams
• Promote Innovation: Help spread the word about new products, empowering your team to become advocates for the latest low-carbon solutions
  
  
  

What You'll Need

• Customer-Centric Mindset: A strong focus on the customer with a genuine passion for delivering above-and-beyond experiences for customers
• Performance Management Expertise: Strong background in team development, performance tracking, and continuous improvement
• Sales Savvy: Experience in consultative sales within a B2C environment and a knack for building robust sales pipelines
• Adaptability: A start-up mindset, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-evolving business environment
• Technical Curiosity: Eagerness to understand our low-carbon products and guide customers in adopting sustainable energy solutions (a background in Heat Pumps would be ideal, but not essential)
