Job Description

We are seeking a strategic and operationally-focused Sales Manager to lead our US Credit & Public Equities sales organisation. This is a pure management role; the successful candidate will not be responsible for carrying an individual quota or managing a personal book of business.
The mission is to lead, scale, and optimise a high-performing team of Sales Representatives. You will be responsible for the "how" of our sales engine—developing talent, refining the sales process, and ensuring the team has the strategy and resources necessary to exceed US revenue targets.
Key Responsibilities

Sales Leadership & Coaching: Direct, mentor, and develop a team of Sales Representatives. You will focus on improving individual performance through regular 1-to-1s, call coaching, and structured career development planning.
Strategy & Execution: Craft and implement the UK go-to-market strategy. This includes identifying target sectors, optimising lead generation workflows, and refining the value proposition for the UK market.
Pipeline Management: Maintain a rigorous overview of the UK sales funnel. You will ensure CRM hygiene is upheld and provide leadership with accurate, data-backed revenue forecasts.
Process Optimisation: Identify bottlenecks in the sales cycle and implement solutions—whether that involves adopting new sales technology, adjusting scripts, or improving the hand-off from Marketing.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Account Management, Product, Marketing, and Execution teams to ensure the sales team is aligned with the wider business roadmap and customer experience goals.
Qualifications

Proven Leadership: Substantial experience in B2B sales, with a significant track record of managing and scaling teams of sales representatives.
Pure Management Mindset: A clear commitment to professional management over individual contribution. You find more professional satisfaction in the team's success than in closing a deal personally.
Methodology Expertise: Deep familiarity with modern sales frameworks (e.g. SPIN, MEDDIC, or NEPQ) and the ability to train others in these techniques effectively.
Data Literacy: Expert-level ability to use CRMs (such as Salesforce or Gong) and data visualisation tools to track KPIs and influence team behaviour.
Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Team Quota Attainment: The percentage of your direct reports meeting or exceeding their individual targets.
Conversion Rates: Improving the efficiency of the team at every stage of the funnel (Lead to Demo, Demo to Close).
Average Deal Value (ACV): Driving the team toward higher-value, more strategic opportunities.
Ramp Time: Reducing the time it takes for new sales hires to become fully productive.
How you will be rewarded:

Salary: Basic of $170,000 - $190,000 USD plus quarterly commission/bonus
Vacation: 15 days (which increases to 20 days after 2 years of service) plus US Holidays
Learning: personal development allowance of $1,150 per year.
Health and wellbeing: a variety of insurance plans, including health coverage by Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Medical Insurance, Dental insurance and Vision plan, plus a personal HSA (Health Saving Account) and Medical FSA (Flexible Spending Account). And also a variety of health and wellbeing events to focus on mental health.
Future and family: 401K matching up to 5% of your base salary, life insurance, a long-term disability policy dependent care FSA and pet insurance.
Flexibility: work from anywhere for one month per year, 2 annual volunteer days, 2 personal days when life throws you a curveball and 'Summer Fridays'
Rewards: get points through our colleague-to-colleague recognition programme to spend on hotels, gift cards, donations to charity and more.
Social: weekly optional social gatherings, daily breakfast and snacks, social events - ESG: CSR, Environment and Diversity & Inclusion (including Women at Third Bridge, Pride and Blkbridge)
Frontline Innovation: your chance to share your ideas for improvement through Hackathons and other events
