Building Sales Teams at Every Level
The Title Is Head of Sales. What’s the Real Brief?
At this level, the opportunity is defined by what sits behind the title. The team you're inheriting, expectations from senior leadership, commercial maturity of the business and freedom you have to make changes all determine what the role will really ask of you.
MCS has senior conversations on both sides of the hiring process, helping you understand what needs to change, what’s already working and where you'll have the authority to make an impact.
Some Head of Sales roles come with an established team and strong foundations. Others need someone who can reshape structure, strengthen capability, recruit new people or introduce greater accountability. Understanding where the team is today matters. We’ll give you as much context as possible around performance, structure and expectations, so you can assess the leadership challenge properly.
Growth can mean entering new markets, improving conversion, increasing revenue from existing customers or creating a more predictable sales engine. We’ll help you understand why the business is making the hire, what senior leadership expects and how success will be measured, so you can decide whether the mandate matches what you want to take on.
Modern sales leadership increasingly means taking ownership of the infrastructure behind performance. CRM, forecasting, pipeline visibility, sales technology and commercial data all influence how effectively a Head of Sales can lead. The opportunity may be to optimise an established sales operation or introduce greater structure for the first time. Knowing which one you're walking into makes a difference.
Head of Sales experience can lead towards Sales Director, Commercial Director and VP of Sales roles, but progression isn't always about a bigger title. A larger team, international remit, greater revenue responsibility or board exposure can represent just as significant a move.
Because MCS recruits across senior sales and leadership appointments, we can help you assess the scope of an opportunity as well as the title attached to it.
What MCS Gives You Beyond the Job Description
Head of Sales Jobs
Head of Sales jobs put you at the centre of commercial growth, from setting strategy and developing people to improving performance and identifying where the business goes next.
We’ll get underneath the opportunity, including the team you’ll inherit, the growth expected of you and what you’ll genuinely have the authority to build or change.
Business Development Executive Jobs
If you enjoy starting conversations, spotting opportunities and turning prospects into customers, a Business Development Executive job gives you the chance to build your commercial track record and make a visible impact on growth.

Regional Sales Manager Jobs
Ready to take responsibility for a bigger market? Regional Sales Manager jobs combine commercial ownership with customer development, performance and, in many roles, leadership of a wider sales team.
