Let's skip the corporate jargon. · Leading a sales function that delivers - not one that just "tries hard". You'll own revenue, margin and pipeline discipline like your reputation depends on it. · Turning a good team into a great one. You'll set standards, enforce them, and coach every week - not once a quarter. You'll be in the office, in the field, on calls, in meetings and everywhere you need to be to show people what great selling actually looks like. · Fixing forecasting (properly). No guesswork. No wishful thinking. Evidencebased forecasts only. · Creating a sales process people actually follow. Clear pipeline stages. Accurate probabilities. Proper nextstep discipline. CRM used as a performance tool, not a graveyard of halfupdated opportunities. · Working shoulder to shoulder with operations and marketing. Selling what can actually be delivered.

You don't swoop in to "save" deals. Instead, you: · Build trust through consistency, charisma, and knowledge. · Collaborate across functions to strengthen "one team" · Bring humility (and expect it from others) · Raise standards every single week · Stay calm, clear and outcome-focused If you are still reading... · You're probably the kind of Head of Sales who doesn't need handholding. · You know how to build a highperforming team the right way - with structure, coaching, discipline and commercial sharpness. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you. INTERESTED? Please click apply. You will receive an acknowledgement of your application.
