Are you an experienced Sales Team Leader or Sales Manager who thrives on developing people, driving performance and creating a positive, high-achieving culture?

We're delighted to be partnering with a well-established and highly respected insurance organisation that is looking to recruit an ambitious Sales Manager to lead a successful team of eight within their specialist commercial insurance division.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys coaching, mentoring and getting the very best out of people, whilst working within a business that genuinely invests in its employees and offers excellent long-term career progression.

You'll be responsible for leading a team of four New Business Advisors and four Sales Support Advisors, ensuring they consistently deliver exceptional customer service whilst achieving both individual and team targets.

Working within a regulated environment, you'll play a key role in maintaining FCA compliance, driving operational excellence and creating a culture of continuous improvement.

The team specialises in commercial insurance solutions for businesses within the healthcare sector, including:

• GP Surgeries
• Dental Practices
• Veterinary Practices
• Locum & Staff Absence Insurance

Alongside these core products, you'll also oversee insurance solutions including Property Owners, Engineering, Terrorism and a range of additional commercial covers required by healthcare businesses.

• Lead, motivate and inspire a team of eight to consistently achieve and exceed performance targets.
• Deliver daily team briefings, set clear objectives and monitor performance through KPIs and visual performance tracking.
• Conduct regular coaching sessions and structured 1-2-1s, creating tailored development plans to maximise individual performance.
• Identify underperformance early and implement effective coaching and improvement plans.
• Monitor quality assurance scores, cancellations and customer complaints, ensuring high standards are maintained.
• Ensure full adherence to FCA regulations and company compliance procedures.
• Oversee holiday approvals, absence management and shift planning to ensure smooth operational delivery.
• Ensure customer information is managed securely and accurately while maximising lead conversion opportunities.
• Support recruitment activities, including interviews, assessment centres and onboarding of new team members.

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• Previous experience managing or leading a sales team.
• A proven track record of coaching individuals to improve performance.
• Experience working within a regulated environment.
• A good understanding of FCA compliance and customer outcomes.
• Excellent communication, leadership and organisational skills.
• Insurance experience would be highly desirable.
• Commercial insurance experience would be a significant advantage, although it isn't essential.

Alongside a competitive salary of £35,000 to £40,000 plus OTE of £6,000, you'll be joining an organisation that genuinely values its people and offers an excellent benefits package including:

• 26 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, increasing with service.
• Hybrid working.
• Clear career progression opportunities across a growing national group.
• Award-winning Learning & Development programmes.
• Support towards professional qualifications.
• Company pension scheme.
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family.
• Discounted gym memberships, cinema tickets, shopping discounts, cycle-to-work scheme, eye care vouchers and much more.
• One paid volunteering day each year to support your local community.

This is far more than a traditional management role. It's an opportunity to join a people-focused business where your leadership will directly influence the success of your team and the wider organisation.

If you're an inspiring sales leader looking for your next challenge within a supportive business that genuinely invests in its people, we'd love to hear from you.
