< Back to careers

Closing Date: June 1, 2025

Do you want to join a team of outstanding and dedicated individuals within one the most dynamic and forward-thinking companies in the security and lone worker industry?

Location: Based at Bracknell HQ, with travel to client and vendor sites as required
Department: Sales and Marketing
Reports to: Sales & Marketing Director

Reliance is looking for a dynamic and entrepreneurial Sales Manager – Cloud to build and lead a dedicated sales function focused exclusively on cloud-based security and technology solutions for the UK mid-market. This is a newly created leadership role at the heart of our strategic growth plans.

Build something new in a fast-evolving space

This is a rare opportunity to shape the identity, culture, and go-to-market strategy of a new sales team — distinct from our core enterprise business. You’ll focus on selling CCTV, access control, visitor management, IoT, AI, analytics and more; plus associated service such as maintenance — backed by Reliance’s proven in-house engineering and support capabilities.

You’ll be hands-on from day one: engaging directly with clients, identifying early-stage opportunities, and working alongside marketing and vendor partners to drive demand. You’ll scale a high-performing team around you to build a sustainable, fast-moving sales engine that reflects the agility of the cloud services model.

This is not traditional IT reselling. It’s about uncovering new markets, creating demand, and delivering long-term innovation and value.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Building and leading a new sales function focused exclusively on cloud-based security solutions
  • Personally developing early opportunities and leading client engagements
  • Creating a distinct sales identity and agile culture within Reliance Cloud
  • Developing and scaling a high-performing internal sales team
  • Defining and targeting mid-market sectors where cloud brings the greatest value
  • Collaborating with marketing and vendor partners to drive campaigns and execution
  • Promoting a “land and expand” approach to support long-term growth
  • Acting as the internal and external figurehead for the cloud division

What you’ll be doing:

  • Actively lead outbound sales activity and drive early pipeline growth
  • Manage and coach one internal sales team member initially, expanding the team based on success
  • Identify high-potential sectors and organisations using market and vendor insight
  • Lead the sales process from initial contact through to proposal and close
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and sales forecasts
  • Collaborate with marketing on campaign development and lead follow-up
  • Work closely with vendors to unlock joint opportunities and incentives
  • Align with technical and delivery teams to ensure smooth project handovers
  • Provide regular reports to senior leadership on performance and market feedback

What we’re looking for:

Essential

  • Proven track record in building and leading successful B2B or B2C sales teams
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in IT, cloud, SaaS, or similar sales environments
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to grow something from the ground up
  • Hands-on leader who can think strategically and execute tactically
  • Strong understanding of solution selling, margin management, and sales process
  • Experienced in working with marketing and vendor partners to drive results
  • CRM-savvy with a data-driven approach to pipeline and performance management
  • Valid UK driving licence

Desirable

  • Experience selling into mid-market sectors such as education, healthcare, or multi-site operations
  • Knowledge of cloud-based security, SaaS platforms, or IoT technologies
  • Degree or equivalent professional qualification

Why join Reliance?

  • A newly created leadership role with real influence and autonomy
  • A chance to shape and lead a strategic growth area from the ground up
  • Fast-paced, agile environment backed by strong internal resources
  • Competitive salary and uncapped OTE
  • A supportive team and high-performance culture
  • A unique opportunity to redefine how cloud services are sold and delivered in our sector
