Have you got a proven ability to drive a sales strategy across Europe?

Have you worked with, developed and lead relationships with field-based sales/ L&D partners?

Are you confident travelling for your role?

Can you analyse critical sales data with a commercial mind and report back to board of Directors?

Do you want to work for a growing business with amazing potential for long term development?

I am currently working with a growing team looking to grow and develop a brand-new department, driving the sales strategy across Europe with key retail partners, predominantly across Spain, Germany, and the Nordic region. You will be responsible for implementing a new CRM system, creating a standardised sales process, and creating the overall sales strategy for the existing “skeleton” in place for a function with around 30 people (and growing!). This will suit an individual looking to take their first step up into a director level role.

This customer is a financial services business with an impressive portfolio of retail partners across Europe. Lead by an extremely talented, diverse, driven leadership team. You will be welcomed into the business with open arms, with a great support network but total autonomy in the development of your role and the department.

As the Sales Operations Director you will be developing a new department, as it has outgrown its current structure. An existing team of 30 people, including a Senior Manager, Account Managers and Field Based team. You have total ownership of driving the sales strategy with key European retail partners, predominantly in Germany, Spain, and the Nordic region. You will create consistency across the retail portfolio with how the product is sold, how the brand is represented and what tools are needed to successfully manage this. You will work closely with the Field based team and Retail Partners to identify any gaps in learning, working with the Head of Learning and Development to create any materials needed to support the partners and field-based teams.

The creation of the sales strategy, development of learning materials and implementation of a new CRM system all fall into your remit.

The ideal person for the Sales Operations Director role will have:

A strong Retail background, working closely with retail operations/ partners to drive a successful sales strategy
Ideally worked in a leadership role with Sales training across a retail portfolio
Led an international team, including office based and field-based sales staff
Strong analytical skills, able to analyse complex commercial data with the ability to articulate key success factors/ gaps to report back to the business at all levels
