Are you an experienced sales leader looking for the opportunity to shape strategy, develop a high-performing team and drive real business growth?
Our client is one of the UK's leading independent Fire, Security, Smart Home and Intelligent Technology companies. For over 30 years we've protected and connected some of the country's most prestigious organisations, iconic buildings, ultra-high-net-worth private clients, and exceptional residential properties. Our customers include the University of Oxford, Royal Palaces, the Tower of London, local authorities, blue-chip organisations and private estates where discretion, quality and service are paramount.
We're now looking for an outstanding Head of Sales to lead our commercial function and help grow our contract customer base by 50% over the next two years.
This is far more than a sales management role.
You'll be a key member of the senior leadership team, responsible for driving the commercial strategy of a business with an outstanding reputation and significant growth ambitions. You'll have the freedom to influence direction, build capability, develop people and create a high-performance sales culture.
