Position Overview

The Head of Sales at Summit will be the key driving force behind the company's sales strategy, ensuring alignment with our core values and business objectives. The ideal candidate will possess profound leadership skills, a visionary approach to sales, and the capability to inspire and direct a team of sales professionals. You will work symbiotically with our Head of Sales Operations; while the Head of Sales drives the team to meet these goals, the Head of Sales Operations ensures that the infrastructure supports these efforts seamlessly.

  • Performance Metrics: Work with the Head of Sales Operations to leverage sales metrics and data to understand performance, and spearhead improvements.
  • Training & Upskilling: Champion continuous professional development by organizing training sessions, ensuring the team is well-equipped with the latest industry knowledge.
  • Collaboration: Work in tandem with other departments to ensure seamless integration of sales strategies with overall company goals.
  • Market Analysis: Continually assess market trends to identify new opportunities and potential threats.
  • Recruiting and Hiring: Play an instrumental role in interviewing potential sales candidates

Qualifications & Skills:

  • Experience: 7+ years in a senior sales leadership role within the insurance industry.
  • Licensing: Level 2 license. Possession of a RIBO licence will be a distinct advantage.
  • Strategic Thinking: Proven ability to design and execute high-impact sales strategies.
  • Communication: Superior verbal and written communication skills.
  • Leadership: Demonstrated experience in leading diverse teams to achieve excellence.
  • Analytical Skills: Ability to dissect complex sales data and derive actionable insights.
  • Industry Network: Leverage industry contacts to establish and nurture strategic partnerships and recruiting strategies.

What Summit Offers You:

  • Pivotal Role: A chance to steer the sales direction of a transformative brokerage firm.
  • State-of-the-Art Facilities: Work in a modern office setting in the heart of Kelowna.
  • Flexibility: Option to tailor your work environment, including remote work possibilities.
  • Cutting-Edge Technology: Equipped with the latest tools to ensure efficient operations.
  • Engaging Culture: Foster team spirit with daily huddles and collaborative events.
