Sales Manager – Credit & Public Equity
We are partnering with a high-growth global research and insights business that is looking to appoint a Sales Manager to lead its Credit & Public Equity commercial team.
This is an opportunity for an experienced sales professional who has built a strong track record as an individual contributor before progressing into sales leadership.
You will lead a team of approximately 8–10 Sales Associates, taking responsibility for their development, performance and commercial output, while also playing a key role in shaping the wider growth strategy across Europe.
The Role
You will be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of the sales team, ensuring individuals are supported, developed and consistently performing against their targets.
Alongside team management, the role has a significant strategic element. You will work closely with senior leadership to develop 6, 9 and 12-month commercial plans, while contributing to a broader 2–3 year strategy focused on scaling the business across Europe.
