You’ll be on the frontline, leading a team of face-to-face ambassadors and playing a big part in shaping and spreading our culture. Your leadership style is rooted in trust and collaboration, you inspire by showing what great looks like. You’ll coach and motivate your team to reach their full potential, celebrating their wins and helping them grow every step of the way.

What you'll do

• Drive Results: Support your team to identify and win new business with customers, achieving sales targets.
• Inspire Excellence: Build a high-performance culture through regular 1:1 coaching, clear goals, and actionable feedback.
• Deliver Outstanding Experiences: Make sure every customer interaction is positive and insightful, using feedback to help us continuously improve.
• Lead by Example: This is a field-based role, so you’ll be out in venues with your team most days, showing what great looks like.
• Promote Innovation: Help your team become true advocates of Octopus – sharing our latest tariffs, tech and products with confidence.

What you'll need

• Experience in face-to-face sales roles, ideally in customer-focused environments.
• A leadership style that inspires, supports, and lifts others up.
• The ability to give helpful, honest feedback in a way that builds confidence and growth.
• A self-starting mindset – you’re someone who takes ownership and loves to drive results.
