Join AnyVan as we make moving anything, anywhere miles better and build a career that moves just as fast. \nBack in 2009, our Chairman Angus saw half-empty vans everywhere and knew there had to be a better way! That's how AnyVan began. He set out to create the world's most efficient logistics technology and help halve the number of wasted miles by filling those empty vans. \nSince then we've become the nation's favourite way to move, with over 150k five-star reviews and 5 million customers in the UK and Europe. Our team of 400 AnyVanners across London, Cape Town and Bogota is proving that moving doesn't have to cost the earth by helping save 8,520 tonnes of Carbon each year. \nBig Energy. Big Deals. Big Paydays.\nWe’re hiring a Sales Manager to lead one of our most dynamic Sales Teams at Anyvan. \nIt’s our job to match the right customer and movers whilst making sure the numbers make sense.\nOur 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.\nYou will be at the heart of creating a high-performance team, passionate about delivering results.\nIf 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.\nWhat you’ll do\nWork side by side with our Sales Director to ensure the team’s performance meets (and exceeds) overall targets.\n\nCollaborate closely with Marketing and Partnerships to maximize lead conversion and sales success.\n\nDefine KPIs and clear performance goals, and inspire your team to exceed them.\n\nLead from the front: join calls, close deals, and show the team how it’s done.\n\nKeep our CRM data impeccable: clean, accurate, and always up to date.\n\nAnalyze performance to identify trends, spot opportunities, and maintain strong results.\n\nPeople management is key\nInspire, motivate, and guide a multicultural team to achieve sales excellence every day.\n\nBe a role model with top-level skills, behaviors, and results.\n\nPartner with the recruitment team to attract exceptional talent and set them up for success from day one.\n\nConduct regular 1:1s to coach, support, and guide both top performers and those who need an extra boost. You can handle difficult conversations and have them early when it comes to supporting performance.\n\nFoster a feedback-driven culture where call listening, training, and development are a natural part of the daily routine.\n\nWork with HR to resolve personnel issues fairly, constructively, and with integrity.\n\nCommunicate changes clearly and ensure the entire team adopts them.\n\nWhat this role is not\nNot a strategy-only leadership seat.\n\nNot a non-selling role, you will jump in and show your team how its done.\n\nNot a role where you inherit a perfect team and just maintain it.\n\nNot a place to hide behind dashboards instead of fixing root causes.\n\nNot a “nice manager” role if you avoid hard targets, tough feedback, or accountability, you’ll hate this job.\n\nThis role is for you if…\nYou thrive under pressure and like tough targets.\n\nYou love the game of activity → conversion → revenue and know how to move each lever.\n\nYou’re comfortable being in the detail (calls, coaching, blockers) and also building the system.\n\nYou bring pace and ownership - you don’t need chasing.\n\nYou lead with warmth and edge: you care, but you don’t tolerate low standards.\n\nWe operate at pace:\nPriorities change quickly\n\nMultiple initiatives run in parallel\n\nNew campaigns and structures launch regularly Comfort with ambiguity and constant change is essential. This role is intentionally not for everyone.\n\nWhat We Offer:\nCompetitive Salary - Great base + Uncapped Commission\nGenerous Time Off - 20 days annual leave\nHealth & Wellbeing - ZAR1000 pr month towards cover with Momentum/Discovery\nFuture Ready - Pension 5% you, 5% us\nEasy Travel - Free parking or transport home after 7pm\nDaily Perks - In-house barista coffee, free breakfast every day\nCulture & Community - Weekly drinks, fun socials, and rewards that take you places (literally - last winners hit the Alps)\nCareer Growth - Join a disruptive technology leader and fast forward your career move\nOur company values are:\nHave fun, get it done\n\nProgress over perfection\n\nOne team thinking big\n\nYou can find out more about our Company, Culture and Values here:\nOur Careers Page\nGeneral FAQ's\nOur Culture\nDE&I\nWe are committed to building an inclusive and diverse workplace where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds to be part of our mission and contribute to our vibrant culture.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4899,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transportation & Logistics","Logistics","Courier Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T00:06:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.259,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":78,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/anyvan-sales-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/anyvan-sales-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T12:54:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14974,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669055},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669055"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fanyvan-sales-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fanyvan-sales-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fanyvan-sales-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/anyvan-sales-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fanyvan-sales-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":684643}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"anyvan.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":684643},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
