In the Revenue and Operations department, the mission is to promote, sell, onboard, and service the products built by our technical teams and departments. This means a deep focus on a 360-degree commercial strategy that helps take new products to market and promote and maximize clients’ usage and experience with existing products.
As Sales Manager you’ll report to the Senior Director of Sales and will focus on building strong relationships with Independent Agencies and Holding Groups. You should be ready to actively engage with agencies, advocate for Adform’s value, and tailor solutions to align with agency and client goals.
We’re looking for a candidate with a robust network in the North of England, ideally allowing for speed to market and efficient deal-closing. Experience in SaaS licensing or Ad Tech sales is essential, as is comfort with longer sales cycles and multi-stakeholder negotiation. While you’ll also manage an existing portfolio, driving new business wins and retention will be at the core of your role.
Adform has recently received multiple industry accolades, and we’re excited to add a new member to the team to help drive our continued success.
We hope you are ready to change the game! Be ready to:
- Execute sales strategies within the North of England (primarily Manchester, Leeds) and Scotland, targeting net-new business with agencies
- Own the sales process end-to-end, from prospecting to contract execution, building a pipeline of high-quality leads and closing deals
- Apply a deep understanding of client needs with expert knowledge of Adform’s FLOW platform to tailor solutions
- Manage and expand a portfolio of existing accounts from Manchester, strengthening Adform’s relationships and increasing product usage through upselling
- Proactively identify growth opportunities within your accounts, leveraging account management best practices (Account Plans, QBRs, Monthly Reviews)
- Work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and translate them into strategies that showcase the value of Adform’s solutions
- Act as a brand ambassador at industry events, building awareness of Adform’s technology and solutions
- Collaborate cross-functionally with presales, product, legal, marketing, and customer success teams to deliver outstanding service
- Provide market insights to inform sales messaging and optimize collateral based on feedback from the field
