The Role

Reporting to the CEO, the Group Sales Director will take overall responsibility for leading the international sales agenda across multiple territories, with a clear focus on accelerating revenue growth, improving commercial performance, and strengthening sales capability across the group.

A collaborative style, strong leadership skills, and the ability to influence both internally and externally will be essential.
