About the role

We’re on the lookout for a strategic, future-focused Head of B2B Sales to lead the charge in driving growth across our trade, corporate, and institutional channels. This is more than a sales role - it’s your chance to take the reins, own performance end-to-end, and deliver game-changing commercial impact.

You’ll design and drive a high-impact strategy that fuels pipeline momentum, lands new business, and deepens key client relationships. Leading a talented team of sales and account professionals, you’ll inspire big thinking, push for excellence, and consistently raise the bar on results.

We want a strategic powerhouse and hands-on leader - someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, sees opportunity in every conversation, and brings energy, insight, and innovation to everything they do. In this pivotal role, you’ll help shape how Halfords partners with clients from growing SMEs to major employers and benefit providers - setting the standard for what best-in-class B2B really looks like.
