We are looking for somebody who is commercially driven, proactive and comfortable leading from the front.

You will bring a strong background in sales, business development, account management or commercially focused customer service, alongside experience coaching, developing or leading others.

You will be comfortable working towards sales and revenue targets, proactively generating opportunities, managing a pipeline and using data to identify where further commercial growth can be achieved.

Most importantly, you will understand that exceptional customer experience and commercial growth go hand in hand developing relationships that retain customers while continually identifying opportunities to grow them.

In return, you will receive a up to £45,000 basic salary with the opportunity to earn up to a 30% bonus, alongside the chance to take ownership of a key function within an established and ambitious business.
