Job Description
Head of Enterprise Sales
Location: Flexible UK location with regular presence in London and customer sites
Why This Role?
This is a high-impact leadership role focused on accelerating growth across new business, strategic account development, and higher-margin revenue streams.
You'll lead an established sales organization through its next phase of growth, helping the business win larger, more strategic opportunities across professional services, public cloud, and cross-sell solutions. Success in this role is about building a high-performing culture, developing sales capability, and creating a repeatable approach to sustainable revenue growth.
You'll lead teams pursuing complex enterprise opportunities typically valued between £500k and £10m, often involving multiple stakeholders and sales cycles exceeding six months.
This is an opportunity for a proven sales leader who has successfully scaled a business unit, grown revenues significantly, and developed teams to achieve outstanding commercial results.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead and develop a sizeable sales organization responsible for both new business acquisition and account growth.
- Drive revenue growth through higher-margin opportunities, including professional services, strategic public cloud engagements, and cross-sell initiatives.
- Create and execute go-to-market strategies that improve revenue quality, profitability, and market penetration.
- Build a high-performance culture that enables experienced sales professionals and developing talent to achieve consistently strong results.
- Coach managers and sales professionals to improve pipeline generation, qualification, opportunity management, and win rates.
- Drive the team's focus towards larger, more strategic opportunities with typical contract values ranging from £500k to £10m.
- Develop sales strategies for complex enterprise opportunities with extended sales cycles and multi-level stakeholder engagement.
- Establish clear commercial objectives covering revenue, pipeline health, forecasting accuracy, and sales effectiveness.
- Own delivery against significant revenue targets and provide strategic leadership across the sales organization.
- Work closely with Marketing, Sales Enablement, Finance, and Operations to maximize growth opportunities.
- Strengthen executive-level relationships with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders.
- Lead from the front by actively engaging in major client opportunities and strategic account growth initiatives through your team rather than acting as an individual contributor.
- Develop succession plans, talent pipelines, and capability frameworks that support long-term growth.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Experience leading managers and sales professionals across a sizeable organization.

- Experience operating within long sales cycles, often exceeding six months, involving multiple decision-makers and executive stakeholders.
- Strong commercial acumen with experience interpreting pipeline, forecasting, and revenue performance data.
- Track record of creating and executing successful go-to-market strategies.

- Drive expansion within higher-value, margin-rich service offerings.
- Lead teams pursuing high-value opportunities ranging from £500k to £10m.
- Influence complex enterprise sales programs involving senior stakeholder relationships and extended buying cycles.
- Shape the future capability of a large sales team through coaching, mentoring, and leadership.
