Head of Sales UK

The Opportunity

Head of Sales – UK
National remit | Home-based | Competitive + Bonus + Car allowance

A rare opportunity for a senior commercial leader to build and drive the UK growth strategy for an ambitious, design-led business operating in the home and lifestyle space. This is a genuine “build and scale” role, you will have full responsibility for developing the UK market – shaping strategy, winning key retail partnerships, and ultimately creating a significant and sustainable revenue stream.
This is not about maintaining existing business, it requires someone with the credibility and track record to open doors, win listings and establish distribution across key UK retail accounts.
 

Key Responsibilities:

You will be tasked with establishing and growing a UK retail footprint, targeting national and regional partners across furniture and home categories.

• Building relationships with major retail groups (for example, furniture and big-ticket home retailers)
• Developing a clear go-to-market strategy and executing it
• Winning new business and securing national listings
• Creating momentum quickly through a mix of independent and larger accounts
• Acting as the senior UK lead, with full commercial ownership and autonomy
• This is a high-impact role with the scope to build a team over time and play a central role in the long-term success of the business in the UK.

Ideal Candidate:

• Highly credible, commercially driven with experience selling into UK retail (B2B)
• A track record of supplying products into the home – for example furniture, flooring, blinds, kitchens, bathrooms or similar categories
• Existing relationships with key buyers and decision-makers within UK retail
• Proven success in winning new national or multi-site accounts
• A hands-on, entrepreneurial approach – someone comfortable building from the ground up
• The ability to operate at senior level whilst still being close to the detail
• Likely operating currently as a National Account Director, Head of Sales or Commercial Director, and looking for a role with greater ownership and long-term impact.

• A rare opportunity to build a UK business from the ground up
• Backed by an established international organisation with strong growth ambitions
• High-quality, differentiated product offering in a growing category
• Real autonomy and the chance to shape strategy, partnerships and future team structure
• A role with genuine long-term progression and legacy potential
