Job description

Sales Lead (Pod Manager) – Cybersecurity

Leeds based

£60,000–£70,000

A rapidly expanding cyber group is building a brand new sales function in Leeds and is hiring two Sales Leads to head up newly formed pods. This is a chance to step into a role with real ownership, shape how a team operates, and help build a high performing sales engine from the ground up.

The Role

As a Sales Lead, you’ll run a pod of six junior BDMs focused on selling core cyber services including Pen Testing and Cyber Essentials. This isn’t enterprise level complexity, it’s fast moving, high activity sales where structure, clarity and coaching make all the difference.

You’ll set the pace, drive performance, and make sure your pod understands the market and how to win in it. The wider group has recently undergone acquisition and is investing heavily, so you’ll be stepping into a business with momentum and long‑term backing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading a pod of six junior BDMs
• Driving daily sales activity and performance
• Coaching and developing early‑career talent
• Ensuring the team understands the cyber landscape
• Working closely with leadership to shape the sales model
• Supporting a major growth mission across the group

What We’re Looking For

• Experience leading or coaching sales teams
• Strong understanding of the cyber market
• Comfortable in a hands‑on, activity‑driven environment
• Able to bring structure, clarity and energy to a young team
• Based in or commutable to Leeds

Why This Role Stands Out

• Newly built team with room to shape how things work
• Backed by a wider cyber group with significant investment
• Clear progression as the sales function scales
• Opportunity to influence culture, process and performance from day one
