About ZPos
ZPos is a fast-growing technology company serving the hospitality sector across the UK. We provide online ordering websites, software, EPoS, connectivity, marketing, and a wide range of supporting services to restaurants, takeaways, and other SMEs.
As the business has grown, so has the need for a senior leader to own and develop our sales function. We are now looking for a Commercial Sales Manager to create, lead, and scale our sales department, working closely with the directors and taking responsibility for sales strategy, performance, and growth.
Our core client base is hospitality businesses, particularly restaurants and takeaways, and this role will support and guide sales activity within that market while building a team and structure around it.
The Role
As Commercial Sales Manager, you will be responsible for building and leading the sales department at ZPos. Your primary focus will be on defining strategy, implementing structure, setting direction, and developing a high-performing sales team.
While this is not a frontline sales role, you will remain involved in sales activity where appropriate, particularly with key clients or strategic opportunities. You will lead by example, helping to shape how we sell to hospitality businesses and setting standards for quality, professionalism, and commercial thinking.
You will inherit an existing Sales Executive and will be expected to recruit and develop additional roles, including an experienced Sales Executive and a Client Account Manager. You will take ownership of both new business and account growth, ensuring sales activity is structured, commercially focused, and scalable.
