Client Details
The business serves SME clients and is the only direct sales force in its sector, setting it apart from traditional banks and challenger institutions.
This dynamic company has ambitious plans to grow its functions out of Liverpool to meet the demands of the plans for a large scale up in 2025.
Description
As Internal Sales Manager, you will play a pivotal role in managing, recruiting, and developing a high-performing telesales team of 8 individuals, with the ambition to grow significantly next year to 50+.

You will lead by example, fostering a culture where the outcome of a well-balanced, targeted call is valued over rigid KPI-driven metrics.
You will also have the opportunity to grow the team, create innovative recruitment and training strategies, and contribute to the wider business development strategy, helping the organisation achieve its ambitious goals.
