Description
Your sales skills belong here — whatever industry you're coming from.
If you know how to open doors, build relationships, and close deals, we want to talk. At Leyton, we're not looking for someone who's already worked in tax or finance — we're looking for someone who's brilliant at winning new business and ready to do something genuinely meaningful with that talent.
We help UK businesses claim the government-backed funding they're already entitled to — through R&D tax credits, capital allowances, and other innovation incentives. It's a compelling, consultative sale with real impact, and our Manchester team is growing.
What you'll be doing
You'll own your pipeline from prospecting to close — identifying opportunities, getting in front of the right decision-makers (think CFOs, Finance Directors, and MDs), and bringing new clients on board. Once you've won the business, you'll hand off to our expert delivery team, so you can focus on what you do best: selling.
Day to day, that looks like:
Building and working a targeted prospect list through outreach, networking, and referrals
Running consultative conversations with senior stakeholders to uncover fit and communicate value
Leading proposals and presentations that land
Managing your pipeline accurately in our CRM
Staying across market trends to sharpen your commercial edge
Hitting — and ideally beating — quarterly and annual revenue targets
What we're looking for
At least 2 years' experience in a new business sales role — industry doesn't matter, hunger does
A track record of closing, not just generating leads
Comfortable selling at C-suite or senior finance level
Self-starter who can manage their own territory and time
Curious, commercially minded, and motivated by results
What you'll get
A high-value, consultative product that sells itself once clients understand it
Full training and onboarding — no tax knowledge required on day one
Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
The backing of a global business (3,000 people, €400m turnover) with an entrepreneurial culture
