Full job descriptionGroup Sales Director
Help us win
We are a privately owned group of specialist recruitment businesses operating across Construction, Property, Finance, Education and Care.
After more than 23 years of successful trading, we’re looking for a Group Sales Director to help shape the next stage of our growth.
This role works alongside our business leaders to identify opportunities, win new clients and help our businesses grow.
Quite simply, your job is to help us win more work.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of client growth across the group, identifying opportunities, opening doors and winning new work for our businesses. This isn’t about registering jobs, this is about solving problems and generating new profitable relationships.
Responsibilities will include:
*Identifying and targeting new market opportunities
*Building and executing sales and lead generation campaigns
*Prospecting and engaging with decision-makers
*Leading client meetings, presentations and pitches
*Developing proposals, bids and tender submissions
*Managing PSL and framework applications
*Negotiating commercial agreements and closing deals
*Working closely with our business leaders to convert opportunities into revenue
This role requires someone who is equally comfortable opening doors, building relationships, leading pitches and winning business.
About You
We’re looking for an experienced salesperson.
Your industry background matters less than your ability to uncover and solve problems, build relationships and win business.
You may come from recruitment, professional services, outsourcing, technology, consultancy or another B2B sales environment.
You’ll likely have:
*A proven track record of winning new business
*Strong relationship-building and communication skills
*Experience managing sales pipelines and longer sales cycles
*Experience producing proposals, bids or tenders
*The confidence to engage senior stakeholders and decision-makers
*A proactive, self-motivated and accountable approach
Most importantly, you’ll enjoy the challenge of finding opportunities, creating relationships and turning conversations into work.
What Success Looks Like
Success isn’t measured by meetings, reports or activity for activity’s sake.
It’s measured by opportunities created, clients won and revenue generated.
What This Role Is Not
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings talking about sales.
It’s not about creating endless strategies, producing reports or discussing growth plans from the sidelines.
This is a hands-on, action-oriented sales role.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys being in the market, speaking to people, building relationships, opening doors, identifying opportunities and winning business.
If you prefer talking about sales rather than doing sales, this probably isn’t the role for you.
Why Join Us?
We’ve been building successful recruitment businesses for more than 23 years.
We’ve grown by solving problems, building long-term relationships and creating environments where talented people can be successful.
Our culture is built around a simple belief: character first.
We value people who take ownership, do the right thing and hold themselves to high standards. We believe in accountability, integrity and performance because those values have helped us build successful businesses and lasting client relationships.
We’re ambitious, we move quickly and we don’t overcomplicate things. We back good people, trust them to get on with the job and support them to succeed.
If you’re someone who shares those values, enjoys creating opportunities and gets energy from winning business, you’ll fit right in.
