We're hiring: Senior Sales Manager
Are you a driven, target-focused sales professional ready to take ownership of a high-value patch and win big? Ventro Group is growing its Passive Fire Protection division and we're looking for a Senior Sales Manager to lead new business sales across the public sector, close multi-million pound deals and take on the added responsibility of managing and growing our most important key accounts.
This is first and foremost a sales role. We want a proven new business closer with a strong track record of selling into the public sector - Housing Associations, NHS Trusts and Local Authorities - and landing large, multi-million pound contracts. A background in construction, fire safety or passive fire protection sales is a real advantage, but if you've consistently smashed sales targets and won high-value public sector deals in a face-to-face B2B environment, we want to talk to you.
What you'll be doing
- Driving new business sales across the public sector, proactively generating pipeline and winning high-value contracts with Housing Associations, NHS Trusts and Local Authorities
- Selling consultatively at director and senior stakeholder level, leading complex negotiations and closing multi-million pound deals
- Owning the full sales cycle from prospecting and lead generation through to face-to-face meetings, pitches, proposals and closing
- Taking on the added responsibility of key account management - retaining, developing and growing our most important public sector accounts as their senior point of contact and trusted advisor
- Leading on public sector tenders and bids, shaping winning sales strategy and working closely with internal teams to build a compelling, competitive proposition
- Building and managing your sales pipeline in HubSpot CRM, forecasting accurately and managing your own diary and client visit routes across your territory
- Acting as a senior voice within the sales team, mentoring and coaching colleagues and helping shape wider sales and business development strategy

- A confident, credible closer who can sell and negotiate at director and senior stakeholder level and lead complex, high-value sales
- Able to combine hunting for new business with the added responsibility of key account management, growing and retaining revenue from existing clients
