Role Description
DriveSimple helps growing businesses and tradespeople get vans without the financial risk and long lock-ins of traditional leasing. Until now, the choice was an expensive short-term rental or a restrictive four-year lease. We built a third option: flexible van subscription. Contracts start at six months, with no deposit and easy cancellation. One fixed monthly cost covers servicing, maintenance, tax and tyres.
Our mission is to help businesses and sole traders get the vans they need to grow, on their terms. The demand exists. You design the playbook and run your own experiments. You report to the CEO, who backs you to change whatever slows a deal down. You start with a product customers love, a working funnel with mapped leaks, a HubSpot CRM in mid-redesign and an experienced sales lead beside you.
What will you do
- Own the funnel from enquiry to van delivered. You are accountable for monthly deliveries, conversion at each stage and speed-to-lead.
- Set the standard for how deals get worked and won.
- Rebuild the commercial engine: 24/7 lead capture, automated document chasing, deposits and booking payments.
- Run HubSpot as the single source of truth: one pipeline, clean stages, an owner and a value on every deal.
- Work with operations and compliance so approvals come back fast and no customer waits for the next step.
- Open and grow partnership channels: brokers, affiliates, insurers and courier networks that bring repeat fleet business.
- Test pricing, ancillary products and win-back campaigns. Bring the CEO results with numbers.
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.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in high-velocity B2B or SME sales, including time leading a team or a funnel rather than a territory.
- Hands-on HubSpot and Aircall experience (or comparable cloud telephony). You run your funnel from the CRM.
- Full proficiency with AI tools. You use them daily to prospect, draft, analyse and automate, and you can build a workflow around them.
- A background in vehicle rental, leasing, subscription or asset finance helps; so does any regulated, approval-based sale.
- Comfortable being measured on conversion rates, lead times and pipeline data.
- A process builder: you have introduced automation, playbooks or SLAs, and you can show what changed.
- At ease with tradespeople, couriers and small business owners, and able to sell value against a cheaper headline price.
- Hands-on: in a company our size, the Sales Manager closes deals as well as counts them.
- Set up to work fully remote, with the discipline that takes.
