Head of Sales / Sales Leader UK B2B Campaigns (Full Time Office Based Umhlanga KZN South Africa-Based)

We’re looking for a Sales Leader who leads by example, someone who rolls up their sleeves, sets the pace, and inspires others through integrity, accountability, and results. You’ll take ownership of our Sales Development team in Umhlanga, leading a group of talented SDRs and team leaders who deliver campaigns for UK-based B2B service companies in technology, insurance, and other sectors.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on leadership role, Full Time Office Based (no remote working). You’ll not only manage and motivate, you’ll demonstrate and inspire. You’ll know how to pick up the phone, show what a world‑class call sounds like, and empower others to reach that standard. You’ll be responsible for the day‑to‑day operation of the sales team, ensuring performance, presence, and pride in every action.

As a key part of the Growth Resourcing leadership team reporting directly to James White, you’ll bring emotional intelligence, operational discipline, and a relentless focus on growth for people, clients, and the business.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage the entire sales team and its team leaders, ensuring activity levels, performance, and outcomes meet and exceed client expectations.

Own the daily operation of the sales function, implementing systems, structure, and accountability so that every team member consistently turns up, contributes, and performs.

Lead by example; demonstrate world‑class sales skills and coach your team not just by telling but by showing.

Inspire through action; be a leader that others respect for your consistency, work ethic, and integrity.

Coach and motivate your team to achieve results that make clients proud while living our company values every day.

Exceptional sales leadership skills; you’re someone the team looks up to because of how you act, not just what you say.

A track record of delivering results through a mix of discipline, consistency, and emotional intelligence.

Strong operational focus; you know how to run a busy team, manage performance, and maintain high standards day in and day out.

Hands‑on sales ability; you can pick up the phone and demonstrate excellence in real time.

Deep understanding of emotional sales intelligence—what drives people, how they respond, and how to bring out their best.

Mental toughness and resilience; you thrive in a fast‑moving environment and can take the lead in growing our SDR teams to 50 (over the next 18 months) with clarity and composure.
