Job Description
This role is not for the faint-hearted.
It’s for someone with fire in their belly.
You're hungry, for growth, for challenge, for results.
You’ve got the hustle of a hunter, the polish of a closer, and the mindset of a builder.
At Growth Resourcing , we help ambitious UK companies scale fast by connecting them with high-calibre South African talent. But this isn’t about selling smoke and mirrors. We’re changing lives. Building winning teams. And we’re doing it with style.
Now we need a sales manager with bite – someone who can lead from the front, drive the numbers, and keep the energy sky-high.
What You’ll Be Owning:
- Lead from the front : Identify and connect with decision-makers through cold outreach, social selling, and whatever it takes.
- Qualify like a pro : Separate the tyre-kickers from the game-changers – fast.
- Run sharp, no-fluff discovery calls that get straight to the client’s needs and pain points.
- Crush your KPIs : From meetings booked to deals advanced, you know how to move the needle.
- Keep the pipeline clean : Your CRM is your Bible – up-to-date, accurate, and always working for you.
- Collaborate with UK Sales teams to hand over red-hot, qualified leads seamlessly.
- Stay curious : Research deeply, understand your market, and always look for your unfair advantage.
Requirements
What You'll Bring to the Table
- 2+ years in B2B sales or client-facing roles (SDR/BDR/Account Exec – we want someone who’s done the graft).
- Natural confidence when talking to UK decision-makers – you’re clear, concise, and impossible to ignore.
- A proven record of smashing outreach and booking high-quality meetings .
- Written and verbal communication that’s chef’s kiss – polished, persuasive, and on point.
- You’re a self-starter with a swagger – independent, resourceful, and results-driven.
- Fluent in tools like CRMs, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and the usual suspects (MS Office, etc.).
- You don’t confuse busywork with progress – you’re laser-focused on what actually moves deals forward.
Benefits
What You’ll Get from Us:
- Uncapped Commission – No ceiling, no limits. The harder you go, the more you grow.
- Performance-Obsessed Culture – High-energy, high-reward, and a whole lot of fun along the way.
- Real Development – We coach. We train. We challenge. You evolve.
- Incentives That Slap – Think big bonuses, killer team events, and rewards worth bragging about.
- Freedom + Responsibility – We won’t micromanage. We’ll back you to own your pipeline.
- Inspiring Office Buzz – Central location, vibrant team, and all the tools to win.
- Purpose Beyond Profit – Every deal you close helps someone unlock the job of their dreams.
So if you're ready to lead, build, and win (with a little swagger), we want to hear from you.
Let’s make some magic. #J-18808-Ljbffr
