• An experienced B2C sales leader with a track record of managing and developing successful outbound telesales or contact centre teams.
• A hands‑on, proactive, and data‑driven professional—you know your numbers and how to use them to drive performance.
• A motivator and coach who gets the best out of people through structure, energy, and accountability.
• A confident leader who runs energising morning huddles, jumps on the floor to support deals, or delivers honest performance conversations.
• Commercially minded and able to balance sales targets with compliance and quality outcomes.
• Comfortable in a fast‑paced, high‑energy B2C environment where expectations are high and results matter.
• Brings stability and ambition—someone who has built tenure and now wants to step into a business where growth is continuous.
• Ideally, you have experience in financial services, motor finance, or another regulated B2C sales environment, though we’re open to strong contact centre leaders from other sectors with transferable skills.
