Sales Manager

Are you in sales and looking for a business which is more aligned to your values where you talk the same language and want to get stuff done? A business who are goal orientated who have clear ambitions and a route for further career development?

Well, you may have just stumbled across something you’ve not seen before!

Trust me these guys are awesome. And actually have a ‘Team Awesome’, you can even see the sign in bright lights on the drive up to the office! Want to be part of ‘Team Awesome’?

This is a business in the FMCG space who are built differently. They’re a scaling brand built on strong foundations with huge ambition.

They know what good looks like, been through the start up phase, figuring it out phase, test, fail, repeat phase and now looking to step this business on to the next level. This is an organisation where you can make impact and operate in a space which you can seriously disrupt with a premium, value led brand which will only enhance the lives of its consumers!

So who are they looking for? A Sales Manager, a Sales Lead, a Head of Sales. A Sales Lead who is used to winning business, delivering exceptional levels of service, building a strategy and go to market plan and willing to lead a small team to do this with you, supporting them and challenging them to achieve objectives!

Now I could go on about what a great place this is to develop your career with autonomy and a great team around you, small yet perfectly formed, however this won’t be for everyone. This FMCG brand means business and wants to double in size in the next 5 years. That means everyone has to be pulling in the same direction and taking accountability.

No excuses, no blame, no denial, just ownership, accountability and responsibility. If you’re looking for just a ‘job’ this won’t be for you. A career? Yes. Want to be accountable for sales numbers? Yes. Want to be part of a growth journey and have meaningful impact? Yes. But that comes with hard work and will take grit, resilience and passion.

You’ve got to be made a certain way. You know what I mean if you’re that person and reading this! You have something you just can’t teach.

It’s a fabulous team to be a part of and with the founders looking to take more of a back seat, a fabulous time to join and really lead something.
