Sales Manager – Build & Lead Our Local, Remote and Prague Sales Team

Build the team. Set the culture. Own the results.

4Life Direct is a direct provider of life and non-life insurance. Since 2008, we’ve been helping customers across Europe protect what matters most, and for more than seven years we have served the Czech and Slovak markets.

We are now looking for an experienced Sales Manager to be based in Brno, Ostrava or Plzen and take ownership of the next stage of our Czech sales operation.

This is more than a traditional Sales Manager role.

You will have the opportunity to build and develop a local sales team in your area, establish a strong performance culture, and lead the team day to day. At the same time, you will work closely with and help manage our existing sales operation, including colleagues working remotely and in Prague

If you are an experienced sales leader who enjoys building teams, developing people and being accountable for results, we want to hear from you

• Build a local sales operation, recruiting and selecting high-quality sales agents
• Lead, coach and develop the sales team in your area on a daily basis
• Help lead and develop our Prague and remote sales teams, creating consistency in expectations and performance
• Set clear sales targets and ensure KPIs are achieved
• Develop team leaders and salespeople through regular coaching, feedback and performance management
• Identify performance gaps quickly and take decisive action
• Introduce sales initiatives and incentive schemes that improve productivity and results
• Use data to understand performance, identify trends and make better commercial decisions
• Recruit proactively so that the sales operation continues to grow
• Build a positive, energetic and accountable sales culture in your area
• Work closely with senior management to align processes, reporting and commercial priorities
• Manage departmental resources and costs effectively

• You are an experienced Sales Manager, Telesales Manager or high-performing Sales Team Leader who is ready for greater responsibility.

You should be:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• A strong people leader who can motivate while maintaining high standards and accountability
• Experienced in telesales, call-centre sales or another high-volume sales environment
• Confident recruiting, interviewing and building sales teams
• Commercial and data-driven, with the ability to turn numbers into action
• Comfortable setting targets and managing people against clear KPIs
• Resilient, decisive and willing to address difficult performance issues
• Energetic and hands-on; someone who enjoys being close to the sales floor
• Capable of creating a strong team identity and performance culture
• Organised and comfortable managing people across more than one location
• Experience in life insurance or financial-services sales would be an advantage, but it is not essential

Location & Travel

This role will be based in Brno, Ostrava or Plzen where you will establish and lead our local sales team

You will also have responsibility across our wider Czech sales operation and must therefore be willing to travel regularly to our Prague office and spend time working with the Prague team

We are looking for someone who is comfortable leading across their local area, Prague and remote teams while making Brno, Ostrava or Plzen their primary base.

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of a growing sales operation while being part of an established international insurance business.

• Competitive salary + performance-based bonus - your reward will be directly linked to the results and growth of the sales operation you lead
• The opportunity to build your own local team - with recruitment budget, HR support, office space and equipment provided
• Real autonomy and ownership - you will have the freedom to shape your team, its culture and the way it operates
• International exposure - work directly with our UK Managing Director and colleagues across the wider 4Life Direct Group
• International travel opportunities
• A highly visible leadership role with the opportunity to influence the future direction of our Czech sales operation
• Full product, compliance and systems training, with ongoing support from our experienced management and training teams
• Established, proven insurance products and an existing business infrastructure behind you
• Regular interaction with our Prague operation while building your primary team and base in your area
• Meal allowance, sick days and Flexi Pass or MultiSport
• Birthday day off
• Company events, team activities and performance incentives

Why This Role Is Different

We are not looking for someone simply to maintain an existing team

We want a manager who enjoys building something

You will have the opportunity to recruit your people, establish the standards, create the culture and then be measured on what matters: the performance and growth of your team

If you have built successful sales teams before or you are a strong leader ready to take the next step, we would like to hear from you
