Head of Sales

Job description

I'm recruiting for one of the fastest-growing insurance divisions in the UK - and they're looking for a dynamic Head of Sales to lead and scale their sales operation.

This is a career-defining role: you'll be at the forefront of shaping a high-growth insurance business, driving performance across SME and Enterprise markets, and building a sales engine that's set to make a huge impact in the industry.

What's in it for you?

  • A six-figure package with car + bonus.
  • A ready-made pipeline of 160,000+ SME and corporate customers to cross-sell into.
  • Full ownership to design and grow a lead generation team and align multiple sales/broking teams under one model.
  • Huge variety: from taxi/courier and HGV fleets to non-motor classes like property, liability and specialist covers.
  • The chance to be at the heart of insurer relationships - influencing pricing, placement and partnerships with a panel of 100+ markets.
  • A fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with the backing of a global group.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading and developing a team of 15+ (and growing) across multiple UK offices.
  • Driving ambitious sales growth targets across SME and Enterprise.
  • Embedding a high-performance, KPI-driven culture with compliance at its core.
  • Owning lead generation strategy: inbound, outbound, referrals and partnerships.
  • Working closely with marketing on digital journeys, campaigns, and online quote & buy solutions.
  • Staying hands-on: supporting the team with technical sales, process improvements, pricing, and training.

What you'll bring

  • A proven track record of leading high-performing insurance sales teams.
  • Strong knowledge across commercial motor and non-motor insurance.
  • Experience selling into both SME and Enterprise clients.
  • Data-driven, commercially sharp, and confident managing multiple teams and models.
  • A "roll your sleeves up" leader who thrives in a fast-growth, high-energy environment.

This is an opportunity to step into a role with scale, autonomy, and impact - where you'll be rewarded not just with a top package, but with the chance to build something special.
