Outbound Sales Manager

We're partnering with one of the North East's most successful and respected technology businesses to find an ambitious Outbound Sales Manager who can inspire, develop and elevate a team of high-performing Business Development Executives.

If you've built your reputation leading SDR, BDR or outbound sales teams and love coaching people to exceed expectations, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact within a high growth organisation that invests heavily in its people, technology and sales capability.

You'll inherit a talented team and be given the autonomy, support and resources needed to build a market leading outbound function. This is a role for someone who wants to create a lasting legacy, develop future sales stars and play a key role in a business on an exciting growth journey.

The Opportunity

As Outbound Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of a team responsible for creating new business opportunities across the UK.
Your focus won't simply be hitting activity targets. You'll be responsible for building a high-performance culture where people develop, succeed and consistently deliver quality opportunities into the wider sales team.
Working closely with senior sales leadership and marketing, you'll shape outbound strategy, improve conversion performance and ensure your team is equipped to succeed in a modern sales environment.

If you're passionate about people leadership, sales excellence and driving measurable results, you'll struggle to find a better opportunity in the region.

Experience leading, managing or coaching an SDR, BDR or outbound sales team.
A proven track record of driving performance through coaching and development.

Commercially minded with the ability to translate activity into revenue outcomes.
Energetic, resilient and naturally motivational.
Someone who genuinely enjoys helping people become successful.
