This is a coaching job, through and through.
They are looking for a hands-on Sales Manager who will report to the Managing Director and own the performance of investment sales consultants. On a typical day, you might
* Sit on the sales floor and listen to live calls – coaching in the moment, while the call is still fresh
* Run focused one-to-ones built around specific call examples from that week
* Have conversations when activity, behaviour or numbers slip
* Spot the patterns in what’s working (and what isn’t) and coach the team into them
* Run team huddles that lift energy and sharpen focus
* Interview and onboard new consultants as the team grows
* Work with sourcing, marketing and finance to land launches and campaigns smoothly
I'd love to hear from sales leaders coming from wealth management, financial services or IFA networks; premium B2C or any sector where high-ticket, advisory, relationship-led sales is the norm.
You’re a sales leader, first and foremost. The sector you’ve led in matters less than how you lead.
You’ll bring:
* A track record of building, coaching and holding accountable high-performing sales teams
* A deep love of coaching – you’d rather take a consultant from good to great than close a deal yourself
* The ability to get buy-in and have the firm conversations when needed (most people can only do one)
* A hands-on, lead-by-example style – your credibility comes from being in it alongside the team
* Sharp instincts for what makes a great consultative sales conversation – listening, questioning, handling objections, building trust over time
* Comfort in a fast-moving, content-led business where things change quickly
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a hugely successful, professional and fun business and lead them and yourself to even more success.

Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications we expect to receive for this role, if you do not hear from us within this time you should presume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
