We’re seeking to recruit an experienced Sales Team Manager to head up a growing Sales team.

Bryt Energy is one of the fastest growing I&C suppliers in the industry, which is largely due to our passionate and forwarding thinking sales team.

As the Sales Team Manager of the Strategic Account Executive team, you will be responsible for managing an effective sales process for new business and renewals for some of our largest Industrial and Commercial customers and grouped customer portfolios.

You will be expected to help us achieve our ambitious growth plans by motivating and leading the team in optimising the relationship of existing TPIs. This role is an external and internal facing role, attending events and customer/prospect/TPI meetings, but also collaborating with internal stakeholders.

You will be required to develop and implement all associated reporting requirements to be able to provide bespoke KPI management to all agreed stakeholders. This should include internal and external reporting to be able to show the work volumes and sales activity, proactive identification and proposed remedies for any issues, and market insight.
