  • Help streamline sales processes and improve the tools and resources the team uses.
  • Any other relevant duties as requested which may support the team or wider business

Skills & Experience:

We want someone who thrives in a results-driven environment and knows how to bring out the best in others.

Successful candidates will have:

  • Strong leadership and coaching skills – able to inspire, challenge, and support.
  • Excellent organisational and communication abilities.
  • A commercial mindset with a focus on performance and growth.
  • Confidence in using CRM systems and reporting tools.

It would be a bonus if you also have:

  • Experience in Ecommerce, SaaS, digital marketing or technology companies.
