Great people manager? Commercially minded? Ready for a role where you can really make your mark?
Join an extremely successful group of businesses, take ownership of one of its established divisions and lead a small, friendly team. You’ll have plenty of autonomy, lots of opportunity to do well and a bonus that rewards your success.
Better still, you’ll be joining a genuinely lovely, down-to-earth business who work hard, support each other and have fun along the way.
 

The role:
This is a varied, hands-on management role where people management is key.
You’ll lead a team of three and take responsibility for the smooth running and performance of the division. You’ll know what’s happening across the business, from the team and customers to leads, quotations, CRM activity and the numbers.
 

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing, supporting and motivating your team
• Taking ownership of the division's day-to-day running
• Keeping on top of customer enquiries, quotations and opportunities
• Ensuring leads are followed up consistently
• Using the CRM to manage customers, leads and activity
• Monitoring performance and keeping an eye on the numbers
• Working closely with colleagues across the wider group
• Identifying opportunities to make things work even better

About you:

• First and foremost, you’ll be an experienced people manager who enjoys getting the best from a team.

You’ll also have:

• Strong CRM experience – the business uses Zoho, although Zoho experience isn’t essential
• Good commercial and business awareness
• Confidence with figures and understanding business performance
• Experience in a busy, customer-focused environment
• A practical, organised approach and the confidence to take ownership

You could come from e-commerce, wholesale, distribution, trade supplies or another commercially focused business – your exact industry background isn’t important.

This isn’t an order processing role or a traditional hard sales position. It’s an opportunity to lead a team, take ownership of a successful division and have a genuine influence on its future.

If you’re ready for a role where you can make your mark and be rewarded for doing well – I’d love to hear from you.
