It's key that you are not hierarchically minded, as we are proud of being equal players in our sales team – every voice is heard.
  • Not just a people leader, you are also a thought leader and be able to innovate and pioneer approaches to ways of selling, contributing to the future development of sales effectiveness and the wider sales team.
  • You have a proven track-record in a sales operations environment, a proud background of developing and leading successful sales teams and developing strategy that has driven significant growth in commercial environments.
  • Having a knack for being able to understand customers' needs and support a sales community in order to optimise growth and build pipeline opportunities.

Strong leadership drives tangible benefits for our business and is core to our success. Our Amazing Leaders are required to show their passion for our people, customers, and suppliers. They must act with humility to create an environment where our people can make amazing happen and they will demonstrate trust by leading by example, taking accountability and ownership.

Grow in our learning and inclusive culture and be rewarded for your success. Whoever you are, whatever you do and wherever you are; it all starts here. Why not make RS a part of your journey?

What can you expect from us?

At RS, as well as the usual employee benefits, you'd expect from a FTSE listed company, including annual performance bonus, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, private healthcare, and generous annual leave, in the UK&I, we've just introduced a number of new Family Friendly Policies including:
  • Help for people to take control of ongoing Health conditions such as diabetes or asthma with £500 a year available for monitoring & consultation.
