Phoenix is a leading UK IT solutions and managed service provider, with a deep specialism in the public sector. We work with organisations across government, healthcare, defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charity sector - helping them modernise with confidence across cloud, data and AI, cyber security, and managed services.
Through strategic partnerships with the world's leading technology providers - and a trusted place on the major public sector frameworks - our work has a direct impact on the services that millions of people rely on every day.
Due to continued growth, we are hiring a new Sales Team Leader to lead a team of Account Managers in the Charities & Housing sector.
What will you be doing?
- Lead, coach and develop a team of Sales Executives and Account Managers.
- Drive team performance against new business and growth targets.
- Coach individuals on prospecting, outreach and business development best practice.
- Conduct regular 1-2-1s, pipeline reviews and performance discussions.
- Ensure accurate forecasting, CRM management and sales reporting.
- Support the team with strategic opportunities and complex deals.
- Develop sector knowledge and maximise opportunities within Charities and Housing.
- Collaborate with internal teams to deliver successful customer outcomes.
Why should you apply?
At Phoenix, our ambition is to be the UK's leading IT solutions and managed service provider - and we know that only happens because of our people. Culture isn't an afterthought here; it's the thing we work hardest on.
We're proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work®, and to be recognised on their UK Best Workplaces lists for Women, Wellbeing, and Development. These aren't badges we chase - they're the result of how we genuinely choose to treat each other, and how seriously we take our colleagues' careers, health, and lives outside of work.
When you join Phoenix, you can expect:
- A culture built on trust and belonging: set out clearly in our Culture Blueprint, lived day-to-day, and reflected in our consistently strong colleague feedback.
- Real investment in your development: structured learning pathways, funded industry certifications, mentoring, and the encouragement to stretch into new areas.
- A workplace that takes wellbeing seriously: from mental health support and flexible working to active employee networks and a leadership team that listens.
- A commitment to equity and inclusion: where we actively work to make Phoenix a brilliant place to build a career, whoever you are.
- Work that matters: supporting the public sector organisations that keep the UK running, from government and healthcare to defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charities serving the most vulnerable in our communities.
- Working with the best of the industry: alongside genuine experts, and with strategic partnerships across the world's leading technology providers, you'll be at the front of the conversations shaping how UK public services modernise.
