* Run and own the performance dashboard — tracking KPIs, enquiry levels, targets, and follow‑through
* Hold the team to account via regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and activity‑quality monitoring
* Ensure tight pipeline visibility, forecasting accuracy, and strong responsiveness to inbound opportunities
* Provide insight‑led reporting to the Head of Sales and contribute to continuous performance improvement

We’re looking for someone who is:
* High energy, proactive, and confident setting the pace for the team
* Comfortable maintaining high call volumes and driving disciplined follow‑up
* A proven closer with strong conversion outcomes
* Commercially sharp with strong instinct for buying behaviours
* Structured, organised, and committed to keeping the pipeline tight
* Strong at holding people accountable and driving consistent performance

* Opportunity to play a pivotal role in a scaling commercial operation
