Sales Manager.

Are you an ambitious sales leader who enjoys building teams, creating structure and turning growth plans into commercial results?

 

We’re recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing healthcare business looking for a Sales Manager to build and lead a new national outbound sales function.

 

This is a newly created role with genuine scope to shape the team from the ground up. You’ll recruit and develop Sales Representatives, introduce scalable sales processes and create a high-performance culture focused on customer acquisition, revenue growth and exceptional service.

It’s an excellent opportunity for a commercially driven, hands-on leader who wants the autonomy to create something new and make a visible impact.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Recruiting, leading and developing a high-performing outbound sales team
• Creating the team structure, KPIs, coaching frameworks and performance standards
• Developing and delivering sales campaigns across care home and direct-to-patient channels
• Driving customer acquisition, conversion and revenue growth
• Introducing effective prospecting and consultative-selling approaches
• Building relationships with care home owners, managers and procurement teams
• Working closely with field sales colleagues to generate qualified opportunities and maximise conversion
• Improving CRM, telephony and sales processes to increase productivity and customer engagement
• Monitoring pipeline health, forecasting, conversion rates and customer journeys
• Using performance data and customer insight to identify areas for improvement and new commercial opportunities
• Establishing reporting, governance and succession-planning frameworks to support the function’s long-term growth
• Ensuring all activity meets the required regulatory, compliance and data-protection standards

You’ll ideally bring:

• Proven experience leading an outbound sales, business development or contact-centre sales team
• Experience building, launching or transforming a sales function

• The ability to create meaningful KPIs and manage pipeline, forecasting and conversion performance
• Excellent coaching and people-development skills
• Strong commercial judgment and a data-led approach to decision-making
• Experience using CRM, telephony or customer-management platforms
• The confidence to influence senior stakeholders and collaborate across departments
• An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to turn new ideas into commercial results
• A customer-focused, consultative approach, particularly when dealing with sensitive or personal circumstances

 

What’s on offer

• Competitive salary and bonus opportunity
• The chance to build and shape a new national sales function
• Genuine autonomy and visibility within a growing business
• Ongoing training and professional development
• 27 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell additional days
