About the role
We’re hiring a Team Leader for our Brighton-based Seller Sales team. This is a rare opportunity to join an established operation with a strong track record, but where we’re now ready to raise the bar. You’ll be responsible for leading a team of Sales Agents, supporting daily performance, and driving continuous improvement through effective coaching, motivation and management oversight.
We’re looking for a confident, hands-on people manager who knows how to get the best out of a sales team. This role is not a stepping stone into people leadership - it’s designed for someone who already has the fundamentals and is hungry for a bigger challenge. You’ll bring energy, accountability and a strong coaching ethos, helping us build a high-performance culture and set the standard for the future.
What you’ll be doing
* Own the day-to-day running of a high-performing sales team - a team of up to 14 Contact Centre agents
* Drive individual and team performance against a range of KPIs
* Coach regularly and effectively to build skill, resilience and accountability
* Use data and dashboards to manage the team – spot trends, address issues, share insights
* Deliver 1-2-1s, performance reviews and development plans that have real impact
* Manage attendance, adherence and wellbeing in a fair, visible way
* Collaborate cross functionally to drive improved business outcomes
* Bring energy and creativity to drive motivation and results
* Take ownership of issues, initiatives and working practices
* Work as effectively and collaboratively part of a broader management team
About you
* Proven experience as a Sales Team Leader in a contact centre or fast-paced sales environment
* Comfortable leading from the front and holding people accountable
* Strong coaching mindset – knows how to build capability
* Resilient and action-oriented – works at pace and keeps things moving
* Good commercial understanding of how contact centre sales performance links to wider business goals
* A data-literate operator who can use insights to make better decisions
* Positive, driven, and able to influence others across teams
You’ll thrive here if
* You want to make your mark on an established team
* You value ownership, autonomy and trust
* You believe that coaching is more than a buzzword
* You like being in the thick of it - making decisions, solving problems and leading from the front
* You want a role with clear potential to develop further
