Enterprise Sales & Commercial Leadership

Indicative UK base £90k–£220k

Senior commercial roles sit close to the decisions that determine whether a business grows, stalls or changes direction entirely.

The work

What these roles usually involve.

01

These are positions where you could influence how a company enters new markets, wins its largest customers, builds recurring revenue, prices its products, develops strategic partnerships and turns commercial strategy into measurable growth.

02

The attraction is the scale of the ownership. Depending on the role, you may be responsible for a major revenue number, an enterprise sales organisation, strategic accounts, margin, partnerships or a substantial part of the P&L.

03

The strongest opportunities offer more than a bigger target. They give experienced commercial leaders the chance to shape go-to-market strategy, build teams around their own standards, influence product and executive decisions and create commercial systems that continue producing results after the individual deal is won.

Career impact

What successful contribution can look like.

01

Success can mean opening an entirely new market, transforming an underperforming sales function, building a high-performing leadership team, winning strategically important customers, improving margin or creating a repeatable growth engine.

02

Relevant backgrounds often combine enterprise selling, commercial strategy, negotiation, leadership, forecasting and the judgement to make decisions where the numbers genuinely matter.

Typical opportunities include VP Sales, Commercial Director, Sales Director and Strategic Account Director.

Indicative UK base salaries range from around £90k to £220k, with OTE, bonus and equity capable of taking total compensation substantially higher.

These roles can create a direct path into CRO, CCO, regional or global commercial leadership and wider executive responsibility.
