Sales Team Manager | Hull

Full Time | Permanent | £45,000 - £50,000 + bonus

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Sales Team Manager to join a well-established international business supplying essential products into highly regulated global markets.

This is far more than a traditional sales management role. You’ll inherit an established customer portfolio, taking responsibility for managing key commercial relationships while leading and developing a team of sales professionals to unlock significant untapped growth opportunities.

The business has built an enviable reputation with customers across international markets and is now entering an exciting phase of commercial development. With a strong foundation already in place, they’re looking for an ambitious leader who can bring fresh energy, inspire a more proactive sales culture and help shape the next stage of growth.

You’ll be passionate about coaching people, creating accountability and developing a high-performing team. While the current sales function has historically been reactive, this role is all about identifying opportunities, encouraging a more consultative approach and helping the team maximise the potential within an already established customer base.

Alongside your leadership responsibilities, you’ll also manage a portfolio of key strategic accounts, ensuring customers continue to receive exceptional service while identifying opportunities to strengthen relationships and drive sustainable revenue growth.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead, motivate and develop an established sales team
• Coach individuals to improve performance, confidence and commercial capability
• Drive a proactive, opportunity-focused sales culture
• Manage and develop key customer accounts
• Identify opportunities to increase revenue across existing customers
• Monitor team performance and implement continuous improvements
• Work collaboratively with internal departments to deliver an outstanding customer experience

The ideal candidate for the Sales Team Manager role will have the following background:

• Proven experience leading and developing a sales team of 5-10 people
• A strong track record of delivering commercial growth through both leadership and personal account management
• An engaging, energetic leadership style with a passion for coaching and developing others
• Commercially driven with the ability to spot opportunities and influence outcomes
• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
• Experience within a product-based business, ideally supplying into highly regulated industries
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to continually improve performance

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious sales leader to join a collaborative, fast-paced business where you’ll have the autonomy to make a genuine impact, influence the direction of the sales function and play a key role in its future success.
