Area Manager - London (Field-Based)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Field Sales Area Manager to lead and grow a team of freelance Field Sales Associates across London.

This is a remote, field-based leadership role for a hands-on, motivated sales professional with experience managing independent or self-employed sales teams. You’ll drive regional performance by recruiting, coaching, and inspiring your team to deliver outstanding results and exceptional merchant experiences.

Your focus will be to accelerate growth in one of the UK’s most commercially dynamic regions, combining dense SME zones, vibrant hospitality markets, and diverse local business ecosystems.

Your Mission

Lead, coach, and motivate a team of ~5 freelance Field Sales Associates to meet and exceed regional targets.

Recruit and onboard top-performing freelancers who embody the company’s values and sales excellence.

Conduct joint field visits to coach associates on prospecting, pitching, and closing techniques.

Monitor performance metrics, track productivity, and provide structured, data-driven feedback.

Adapt sales strategies to the local market - from bustling city centres to affluent commuter towns and coastal areas.

Build a strong, connected community of freelancers who feel part of the company mission despite self-employment.

About You

Proven background managing field sales teams, ideally in fintech, merchant services, utilities, or similar industries.

Hands-on field sales experience with strong commercial and leadership acumen.

Excellent communication, motivation, and coaching skills, with a track record of driving performance remotely.

Confident using data and KPIs to guide decisions and optimise results.

Self-driven and adaptable, able to manage a wide geographical area and balance team support with strategic growth.

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll join as a full-time employee (permanent contract), managing and developing a network of freelance Field Sales Consultants.
