The role

We’re looking for an energetic and commercially driven Sales Manager to play a leading role in the development of our Sales team and the commercial performance of the business. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on coaching your team to convert leads into closed business, owning pipeline health and CRM discipline, and working closely with stakeholders to build a consistent and scalable sale operation.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, you’ll be at the centre of our go-to-market execution — driving performance across the full funnel and a key voice in shaping how the sales team operates day-to-day.

What you’ll be doing

Team Coaching & Development  

• Coach, develop and performance-manage a team of Sales Executives, helping each individual convert more effectively at every stage of the funnel 

• Conduct regular call reviews and pipeline review sessions, using structured frameworks to identify strengths and areas for development 

• Deliver impactful training sessions — both individually and to the wider team — on sales methodology, messaging, and process 

• Run effective 1-2-1s and monthly performance reviews, setting clear goals and holding team members accountable through tailored development plans 

• Bring consistent energy and direction to the team, motivating Sales Executives during both strong and challenging periods 
• Lead onboarding for new Sales Executives, ensuring they ramp quickly and embed the right habits and processes from day one 

Pipeline & Performance Management 

• Own the health of the pipeline — running weekly reviews to track deal progression, identify risks, and ensure consistent execution of the contact strategy 

• A hands-on approach to supporting deal progression, especially with larger ticket deals 

• Champion CRM hygiene across the team, ensuring data accuracy, deal stage discipline, and adherence to CRM processes 

• Identify and lead improvements to workflows and reporting to give greater visibility of funnel performance and conversion rates 

• Analyse performance data across the funnel to surface trends, spot gaps, and drive targeted coaching or process improvements  

• Set clear activity and pipeline metrics for the team, ensuring consistent tracking and data-driven decision-making 

• Provide regular feedback and insights to the business on factors influencing performance 

• Ensure Sales Executives are equipped to work leads effectively, with the right scripts, objection handling techniques and follow-up cadences 

• Raise the bar of performance in the team, addressing swiftly where performance falls below expected standards 

Reporting & Leadership Support 

• Put together clear team updates and performance summaries — covering pipeline health, conversion rates, campaign performance and key project progress 

• Present insights and team updates confidently, whether in team meetings or to the Head of Sales and senior leadership team 

• Support the Head of Sales with the day-to-day running of the team, acting as a trusted deputy capable of representing sales to the wider business 

• Proactively surface ideas for process improvements, team initiatives, and strategic projects that will strengthen commercial outcomes  

What we think you’ll need

• A natural people leader who is energised by developing others and takes pride in the growth of their team 

• Commercially sharp — you understand the full sales funnel, know how to spot conversion problems, and can translate data into practical actions 

• Strong pipeline management skills, with hands-on experience driving CRM discipline and process adherence within a sales team 

• An excellent communicator — clear and compelling in 1-2-1s, team sessions, and through written updates 

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities without losing focus on what matters most 

• High standards and a continuous improvement mindset — you push yourself and your team to keep getting better 

• A feedback culture champion — you seek out feedback, act on it quickly, and create an environment where others do the same 

• Hybrid based out of our London office, with regular weekly in-person collaboration expected 

• Familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM platforms, particularly around pipeline reporting and workflow configuration 

• Experience in Financial Services sales or a fintech environment
