ABOUT US Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers. The business was born out of an enthusiasm for delivering fostering services to make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children.

Today, we're one of the country's largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we're large doesn't mean we're impersonal.

THE CARWOW GROUP Carwow Group is driven by a passion for getting people into cars. But not just any car, the right car. That's why we are building the go-to destination for car-changing, whether you are looking to buy, sell or lease. Designed to reach drivers everywhere with our trail blazing portfolio of personality rich automotive brands; Carwow, Auto Express, evo, Driving Electric and Car Buyer. What started as a simple reviews site, is now one of the largest online car changing destinations in Europe. Last year alone we grew over 50% with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car service. Over 10m customers have used Carwow to help them buy and sell cars since its inception. In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia, doubling our audience overnight. Together we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with over 1.1 billion annual views, sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350million. WHY JOIN US? We are winners of the prestigious Culture 100 award that recognises the most loved and happiest tech companies to work for! We have just raised $52m in funding led by global venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners (an early backer of LinkedIn and Shopify) to accelerate our growth plans! As pioneers, we're always driving for new territory and positive change, so our work as a group is never done. Where others see difficulty, it's our responsibility to see possibility - building new experiences, launching new titles and listening to drivers. Being a part of Carwow Group means championing drivers and the automotive industry, acting as a disrupter and never being afraid to fail (but learning fast when we do!). Our team of 600 employees across the UK, Germany, Spain and Portugal are revolutionising car changing and we are fast expanding our mission across every single brand and country we operate in, so jump in!

Our Sales & Customer Success team are the primary point of contact for both sellers and dealer partners, working to align expectations between both, to achieve sales success. As Head of Sales, you will instinctively think in terms of "both sides winning" as you build sales plans and evolve tactics. As something changes on one side (product updates, market shifts etc.) you can connect the dots and think how this will impact the other, to ensure consistent winning, for all. As Head of Sales, you will directly manage our Customer Success & Sales Team Leaders and own the execution of our end to end sales strategy. You will be accountable for the performance, productivity, and commercial output of our sales operations-continually identifying opportunities to optimise processes, enhance sales effectiveness, and enable the team to excel.

Set clear performance expectations, distribute team targets aligned to business goals, and oversee team wide metrics to drive focus and accountability. Manage the full sales pipeline, ensuring optimal workload balance, opportunity management, and adherence to SLA's through your sales team leaders. Identify risks to the plan early, elevate appropriately, and drive mitigation actions directly within your teams, alongside partnering with your peers to do the same across the business. Quality, Enablement & Operational Excellence Ensure robust structures, quality controls, and standards are in place across all sales interactions to protect and enhance customer experience for both consumers & dealer partners. Champion improvements to systems, tooling, and sales enablement, partnering cross functionally to prioritise initiatives with highest impact. Oversee & sign off rota planning to ensure consistent coverage and readiness to meet volume demands year round. Drive continuous improvement, identifying operational inefficiencies and implementing enhancements that lift productivity and service quality. People Leadership & Talent Development Stand as a role model for what sales leadership should look like. Managing the team through data led decisions, emphasizing on what is important through effective coaching & challenge outdated approaches that are not scalable in a digital marketplace Lead, coach, and mentor your Sales Team Leaders, empowering them to develop high performing teams and maintain a strong performance culture. Oversee recruitment, training, and onboarding frameworks to ensure new hires are equipped to ramp quickly and succeed. Conduct regular team and leadership meetings to align on updates, share best practices, and proactively address challenges. Foster an engaged, collaborative, and high trust team environment built on open communication, accountability, and mutual respect. Cross Functional Influence & Stakeholder Engagement Act as a thought partner to product & marketing teams to help shape the future of our marketplace and how we serve all our customers effectively Collaborate closely with Customer Experience, Fulfilment, Product, Marketing, and Commercial stakeholders to ensure seamless coordination and unified delivery across the customer journey.

Strong experience in leadership of sales teams of 50+ individual contributors, including direct line management of other people managers. This could be within a current Head of/Director level role, or a senior manager ready to take the next step. A track record and demonstrable experience of designing & implementing new sales processes, structures & strategies that are scalable for the long term. With evidence of increasing scope, stepping up or replacing old playbooks and taking teams to the next level Comfortable working in an environment that holds "unknowns" and experimentation, with the ability to create structure where there is none and a clear understanding of what is needed to drive effective change management across a large team. Record of achievement managing team performance within a target focused environment, overseeing goals across revenue generation, lead pipeline management & SLA's towards metrics of response time, outbound calling activity & lead conversion. Experience in online / 2-sided marketplace or multi stakeholder business models (e.g marketplaces, aggregators, brokers where the sales process needs to balance both demand & supply simultaneously) Prior experience within the automotive industry is a plus when combined with experience in digital first business & leadership roles, within high volume, complex telesales environments Experience with varied customer groups and needs (Both B2B and B2C customer bases) with an understanding of how needs differ within a sales plan & process Excellent communication, interpersonal, and coaching skills . click apply for full job details

Manage the full sales pipeline, ensuring optimal workload balance, opportunity management, and adherence to SLA's through your sales team leaders. Identify risks to the plan early, elevate appropriately, and drive mitigation actions directly within your teams, alongside partnering with your peers to do the same across the business. Quality, Enablement & Operational Excellence Ensure robust structures, quality controls, and standards are in place across all sales interactions to protect and enhance customer experience for both consumers & dealer partners. Champion improvements to systems, tooling, and sales enablement, partnering cross functionally to prioritise initiatives with highest impact.
