Head of Sales – Insurance
Leeds, Sheffield or Crewe (with travel across sites)
Six-figure package + car + bonus
I’m recruiting for one of the fastest-growing insurance divisions in the UK – and they’re looking for a dynamic Head of Sales to lead and scale their sales operation.
This is a career-defining role: you’ll be at the forefront of shaping a high-growth insurance business, driving performance across SME and Enterprise markets, and building a sales engine that’s set to make a huge impact in the industry.
What’s in it for you?
* A six-figure package with car + bonus.
* A ready-made pipeline of 160,000+ SME and corporate customers to cross-sell into.
* Full ownership to design and grow a lead generation team and align multiple sales/broking teams under one model.
* Huge variety: from taxi/courier and HGV fleets to non-motor classes like property, liability and specialist covers.
* The chance to be at the heart of insurer relationships – influencing pricing, placement and partnerships with a panel of 100+ markets.
* A fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with the backing of a global group.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading and developing a team of 15+ (and growing) across multiple UK offices.
* Driving ambitious sales growth targets across SME and Enterprise.
* Embedding a high-performance, KPI-driven culture with compliance at its core.
* Owning lead generation strategy: inbound, outbound, referrals and partnerships.
* Working closely with marketing on digital journeys, campaigns, and online quote & buy solutions.
* Staying hands-on: supporting the team with technical sales, process improvements, pricing, and training.
What you’ll bring
* A proven track record of leading high-performing insurance sales teams.
* Strong knowledge across commercial motor and non-motor insurance.
* Experience selling into both SME and Enterprise clients.
* Data-driven, commercially sharp, and confident managing multiple teams and models.
* A “roll your sleeves up” leader who thrives in a fast-growth, high-energy environment.
This is an opportunity to step into a role with scale, autonomy, and impact – where you’ll be rewarded not just with a top package, but with the chance to build something special.
