Enterprise Sales Director

ManpowerGroup - Commercial Staffing
National role | Senior leadership package with bonus + car allowance

Are you a strategic, commercially sharp sales leader who thrives in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments? Do you excel in winning high‑value, margin‑positive deals while shaping the sales culture of a fast‑evolving organisation? If so, this could be your next major career step.

ManpowerGroup's Commercial Staffing Enterprise division is entering an exciting period of transformation and growth. With 10,000 associates on assignment daily, we are now seeking an Enterprise Sales Director to lead our sales strategy across key market verticals and drive the future direction of our Enterprise portfolio.

About the Role

As our Enterprise Sales Director, you will play a pivotal role in designing, executing, and elevating our Enterprise sales strategy. This position sits on the Senior Leadership Team and combines high‑impact leadership with hands‑on sales delivery.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading and delivering a high‑growth Enterprise sales strategy, aligned to Public Sector, Consumer and Industrial verticals.
  • Managing your own new‑business pipeline, carrying ~60% of an individual quota alongside wider leadership duties.
  • Embedding a data‑driven, performance‑focused sales culture, ensuring MS Dynamics and reporting tools are used to their fullest.
  • Overseeing one direct report initially, with plans to expand the team as the Enterprise function continues to scale.
  • Working across a wide stakeholder landscape, influencing teams across Corporate Sales, National Accounts, Operations, Marketing, and European/Global colleagues.
  • Designing complex workforce and commercial solutions using models such as workforce insights, gainshare, and output‑based pricing.
  • Representing ManpowerGroup at client meetings, industry events, and roadshows across the UK.
  • This is a national role requiring regular UK travel.

What We're Looking For

We want someone who is:

  • Exceptionally commercially minded, with a proven ability to sell complex workforce or outsourcing solutions.
  • A strong hunter, capable of leading new‑business acquisition at a senior level.
  • Strategically sharp, able to articulate modern commercial models (output‑based pricing, gainshare, workforce insights).
  • An influencer, able to navigate multiple stakeholder groups with confidence and composure.
  • A team player, collaborative and culturally positive.
  • Data‑driven, using insight to shape decisions, strategy, and performance.
  • Motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a division undergoing growth and transformation.
  • A full UK driving licence is required.

Ideal backgrounds may include:

  • High‑performing individual contributors looking to step into leadership.
  • Senior operations or commercial leaders with major outsourcing/programme delivery experience.
  • Professionals who have sold complex staffing solutions, workforce programmes, or large‑scale service models.

What's In It For You?

  • Salary: Competitive base with performance-based bonus opportunity
  • Car allowance: Included as part of your senior leadership package
  • Holidays: 24 days' annual leave (rising to 27 with service) plus your birthday off, with the option to purchase up to five additional days
  • Pension: Competitive plan with contributions that grow with your length of service
  • Health and wellbeing: Flexible benefits fund offering private medical insurance, dental, gym memberships, health screenings, and more
  • Work‑life balance: Generous family‑friendly policies, along with access to our Employee Assistance Programme
  • Additional perks: Monthly early finish Fridays, discounted share purchase opportunities, annual volunteering programme and awards, gym membership discounts, and retail savings through Tastecard and ManpowerGroup Rewards
