Sales Director – Energy Brokerage | UK

We’re partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed energy brokerage and advisory firm that’s on a mission to reshape the UK energy market and we’re looking for a Sales Director who can lead from the front and scale a high-performing sales engine.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a strategic leadership role at a pivotal stage of growth. With bold M&A activity underway and a plan to expand the direct sales team from 6 to 25+ in the next six months, the business is gearing up for a major scale-up phase and needs an experienced, hands-on leader to bring structure, pace, and performance excellence.

If you’re the kind of leader who thrives in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments, knows how to build and inspire top-performing sales teams, and has a track record of driving revenue in energy, renewables, or B2B services, this could be your next big move.

What You’ll Drive

• Lead and scale the direct sales function, from team structure and hiring to coaching, performance management, and culture.
• Develop and implement scalable sales strategies and processes that underpin rapid team growth and M&A integration.
• Drive commercial success across new business, renewals, and cross-sell of value-added services (solar, energy audits, monitoring solutions).
• Collaborate with the executive team to refine and execute the go-to-market and growth strategy.
• Own and deliver against sales P&L targets, ensuring strong client retention and lifetime value.

About You

• Proven ability to build, scale, and lead high-performing B2B sales teams in fast-growth or transformation settings.
• A hands-on, people-centric leader who develops and empowers talent while embedding sales discipline and process.
• Strong commercial acumen and strategic mindset, capable of driving consistency across multi-site or multi-entity operations.
• Experience in energy brokerage, Solar-as-a-Service, or adjacent sectors (insurance, financial services, etc.).
• Exposure to private equity-backed, buy-and-build models is a major plus.
• If you have a large network within Public Sector, Property and/or Food, Retail & Hotels sector - that's advantageous

What’s On Offer

• Competitive base salary + uncapped performance-based commission
• Equity opportunity as the business scales
• The chance to shape and define the commercial future of a rapidly growing, acquisition-driven organisation

If you’re ready to take the reins and build something exceptional in the energy space, let’s talk.
