Head of Sales
Package:
£50,000-£55,000 basic salary + uncapped commission
Location:
Remote (UK)
We’re working with a growing, tech-led commercial finance brokerage that is looking to appoint a Head of Sales to build and lead its UK sales team.
This is a good opportunity to join at an early stage, with genuine influence over the sales function and how the business develops.
Initially, the role will be a player-manager position. The focus will be on working qualified inbound opportunities, building lender relationships and driving deals through to completion, while also helping shape sales strategy, processes and team structure.
The business already generates thousands of commercial finance enquiries each month, so there’s no cold calling and no expectation to build a personal pipeline.
The leads are provided, the focus is on converting them, improving the sales process and building a strong team around the opportunity.
As the business grows, responsibility will increasingly move towards hiring, coaching and managing the wider sales function.
We’re looking for someone who knows the UK business finance market and has strong relationships with commercial finance lenders.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The ideal candidate could already be working as a Head of Sales, Sales Manager or Team Leader and be ready for greater responsibility. Equally, this could suit a Senior Commercial Finance Broker or BDM who has started influencing strategy, improving processes and supporting others, and is ready to take the next step.
Required Experience:
- At least 3 years’ experience within the UK business finance sector is required, whether with a lender or brokerage.
We’re particularly interested in people who have:
- Strong existing relationships with UK commercial finance lenders
- A proven track record of brokering or selling commercial finance
- Good knowledge of business finance products and lender criteria
- Experience leading, coaching or mentoring brokers, or clear experience of supporting and influencing others
- Experience contributing to sales strategy or improving how a team operates
- The ability to structure and place deals from initial enquiry through to completion
- The confidence to work independently and make commercial decisions
The focus will be on:
- Working qualified inbound opportunities and managing deals through to completion
- Developing existing lender relationships and using your network to help grow the lender panel
- Supporting future brokers and helping shape how the sales team operates
- Putting the right processes in place as the business grows
- Identifying new opportunities across the lender network
- Taking responsibility for hiring, coaching and overall sales performance as the team develops

Technology is a big part of the business too. The aim is to make the funding process quicker and more efficient for customers and the sales team, while removing much of the admin that can slow deals down.
There will be genuine input into how the technology, sales process and wider operation develop as the business grows.
This is an opportunity to join a business with strong inbound demand and a technology-led approach, with real scope to develop lender relationships and have a genuine impact on the direction of the sales function.
If you’re already leading a sales team, or you’re a senior sales professional with the experience, relationships and ambition to step into one, I’d be keen to have a confidential conversation.
