Head of Sales
Shape the future of a specialist manufacturing sales team with full ownership and a £60k+ package
£60,000 + bonus + company car + 25 days holiday

If you want real influence, not just a job title, this role gives you full ownership of sales strategy, team performance and growth.

You will take charge of a specialist sales function, shape how the business goes to market and build a team that delivers sustainable, profitable growth. Your decisions will be visible, valued and directly linked to the company’s success.

This is a senior role for someone who wants autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to leave a clear mark on a growing manufacturer.

The opportunity

You will lead sales across the business, setting direction, developing people and turning strategy into results. This is not about maintaining the status quo. It is about improving performance, strengthening customer relationships and positioning the business for long-term growth.

You will work closely with the senior leadership team, giving you a genuine voice in how the company evolves and the opportunity to influence decisions well beyond sales.

What you will achieve

In this role, you will:

• Own and deliver the sales strategy, allowing you to directly influence revenue, margin and market position
• Build, lead and develop the sales and technical teams, strengthening capability and creating a high-performance culture
• Set clear targets and expectations so results are measurable, visible and rewarded
• Strengthen relationships with key customers and groups, increasing retention and long-term value
• Improve forecasting and pipeline visibility, giving you control over performance and planning
• Work cross-functionally to ensure sales promises are delivered consistently, improving customer confidence
• Identify new opportunities in the market, helping the business grow in a controlled and profitable way

Everything you do is linked to growth, leadership impact and career progression.

What this role gives you

• £60,000 basic salary
• Performance-related bonus
• Company car
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Full ownership of sales strategy and execution
• Direct exposure to senior decision making
• The opportunity to shape a team and sales culture
• A leadership role where your impact is clear and recognised
• Long-term progression within a growing specialist manufacturer

About you

This role will suit you if you have senior sales leadership experience within chemicals, solvents or a related industrial sector, and you enjoy building strategy, developing people and driving sustainable growth rather than short-term wins.

If you are ready to take full ownership of a sales function and want a role where your leadership genuinely shapes the future of the business, this is well worth a conversation.
