About You
We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded, and inspirational Sales Department Manager to lead and develop multiple sales functions across Careline365.
This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for up to five direct reports and overall accountability for the performance, development, and strategic direction of our Inbound Sales, Outbound Sales, Retention, Business Development, and Customer Value Management teams.
You will be responsible for translating business objectives into clear operational plans, creating and executing sales strategies that drive sustainable growth, and ensuring every team is aligned to the wider organizational vision. Whilst this role offers significant autonomy, success will depend on balancing independent strategic thinking with the ability to operate within the company's agreed direction, priorities, and values.
As a visible leader, you will inspire high performance through effective coaching, strong stakeholder management, and a relentless focus on customer outcomes, commercial performance, and continuous improvement.
This opportunity would suit an experienced sales leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, excels at managing managers, and is comfortable influencing at both operational and strategic levels.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iām in my final year doing Economics and I donāt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer ā it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donāt need a masters. Letās look at the ones youād be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet ā that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
