Sales Manager

Got Drive? Join AnyVan as we make moving anything, anywhere miles better and build a career that moves just as fast.

We’re hiring a Sales Manager to lead our agents who work in territories where we operate on a reverse auction system (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland) i.e. The buyer sets out what they need, and multiple sellers (in our case drivers known as transport partners TP’s internally) submit competing offers. It's our job to match the right buyers and sellers whilst making sure the numbers make sense for the customer, the TP’s and AnyVan.

Our Sales teams don’t hide behind scripts, slow follow-ups, or “I’ll email you a quote.” These are fast-paced, high-volume, commercial roles that need a leader who thrives on pace, pressure, and negotiation and can shape high performing teams that can turn warm demand into booked revenue by running live competition between suppliers.

You will be at the heart of creating a high-performance team, passionate about delivering results. If you're a hands-on Sales Manager with initiative, sharp commercial acumen, and you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to lead, this could be the next big step in your career.
