Sales Lead - Ruminant

Hybrid - Derbyshire

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking company in the early stages of its growth, entering the ruminant market with energy, purpose and a clear vision. You'll be part of a team that is passionate about innovation in animal health and committed to delivering real value to farmers, vets and the wider industry.

As Sales Lead, you won't just be driving sales - you'll be shaping how this business goes to market. You'll play a hands-on role in building commercial infrastructure, establishing key relationships and developing scalable strategies that lay the foundation for long-term success. This is a role for someone who thrives on both field-level engagement and strategic thinking and is excited by the opportunity to help build something from the ground up.

Responsibilities:

• Leading the commercial sales function - owning strategy, identifying opportunities and driving execution
• Building and managing a scalable sales pipeline, from lead generation to close
• Developing and delivering the go-to-market strategy
• Building trusted relationships with vets, farmers and key accounts to support onboarding and deliver large-scale projects
• Spending time in the field to stay close to customer needs while influencing broader business direction
• Setting up and optimising a CRM system to manage pipeline and performance
• Creating repeatable playbooks and processes to support long-term scale up

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum 5 years' experience in a commercial role with proven results in scaling revenue and driving growth
• Experience in sales, customer success or go-to market roles - ideally within a start-up, scale-up or early-stage business
• Strong understanding of the ruminant, agri-tech, or animal health sectors and the ability to build credibility with vets and farmers
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and operational levels
• Experience implementing and managing CRM systems to support pipeline performance
• Confident in building commercial processes and frameworks from the ground up
• Hands-on, results-driven and ready to take full ownership in a fast-paced, evolving environment

In return, you'll receive a base salary of up to £60K, 25 days annual leave + bank holidays, pension, plus the potential for equity share options for the right candidate.

This is a hybrid role, working 1-2 days per week from the office, with the rest of your time spent working from home, or on the road visiting clients.

This is a truly unique and exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, innovative company where you can make a real impact.
