Head of Sales
Head of Sales (Growth Role)
Are you an entrepreneurial sales leader ready to build something meaningful? Do you thrive in fast-growth environments where you can shape strategy, develop people, and directly influence the future of the business?
This is a unique opportunity to join a scaling fintech at a pivotal stage of its journey. You’ll initially lead and develop a small, high-impact sales team while laying the foundations for a best-in-class sales function. As the business grows, this role will naturally evolve into a Sales Director position, with the opportunity to earn equity and play a key role in shaping the long-term success of the company.
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of a team of three Sales Executives, driving performance through structured coaching, clear development plans, and a strong commercial mindset. Working closely with the leadership team, you’ll help define sales strategy, embed scalable processes, and build a culture of accountability, ambition, and continuous improvement.
This role is ideal for someone who wants real ownership, influence at board level, and the chance to grow with the business.
