  • Acting as a key advocate for customer-led improvements, using insight to influence change across the business

Who this role suits

• Has 5+ years’ experience in sales, ideally within financial services, B2B, or SME-focused environments
• Has led high-performing sales or account management teams and can evidence results
• Is commercially sharp and comfortable owning numbers, not just managing people
• Is highly data-driven and comfortable using insight to shape decisions
• Thrives in environments where expectations are high and change is constant
• Is motivated by building something better, not just running what already exists
