Job Title: Sales and Marketing Manager Location: Barnsley Job type: Full time, Permanent . Pay: £40,000 Our client is looking for a sales Manager to lead their internal sales team. This is a people-management and performance role at its core, someone who can lead through others, set clear standards, drive the right behaviours and build a sales environment where the team knows what good looks like. The successful candidate will be responsible for day-to-day leadership of the sales team, driving conversion, embedding CRM discipline, and supporting customer experience.
