Job description

Are you a sales powerhouse who knows how to drive numbers, push performance, and lead winners?

Do you thrive in a high-pressure, high-reward environment where results are everything?

If you live for targets, coaching, and closing deals, Mango5 wants you to lead our Insurance Sales Team. This isn't a role for managers who sit back — it's for leaders who roll up their sleeves, get on the floor, and push their teams to smash targets daily.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of sales agents selling short-term insurance products, driving daily, weekly, and monthly target achievement.
• Coach effectively through role-plays, live call reviews, and one-on-one sessions to rapidly upskill the team.
• Oversee the full sales process from lead qualification through to policy issuance, ensuring quality, compliance, and consistency.
• Monitor and manage key metrics (conversion rates, pipeline flow, QA scores, average premium, customer satisfaction), identify gaps, and implement improvements.
• Be hands-on: jump into calls, close complex deals, and lead by example.
• Partner with the Sales Manager to execute strategic initiatives, refine processes, and maximize campaign performance.
• Collaborate with Underwriting, QA, Customer Service, and Admin teams to resolve issues impacting customer experience or sales outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven sales experience with 1–2 years in a leadership or supervisory role.
• Strong track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
• Insurance industry experience is advantageous (short-term policies, renewals, underwriting).
• Excellent coaching, mentoring, and communication skills.
• Confident using data, dashboards, and CRMs to monitor performance and make decisions.
• Driven, resilient, and thrives under pressure – never settles for "just OK".
• Strong teamwork and ability to partner cross-functionally.

What’s in It for You

• Competitive basic salary + commission + incentives.
• Leadership role in a high-performance sales environment.
• Professional growth and career development opportunities.

Dynamic, supportive workplace with a winning culture.

Join Mango5, and lead a sales team that’s driven, motivated, and committed to success.
