Your Team


The Sales CRM Manager sits within the Sales Performance Team in the broader Sales Strategy and Adviser Services team in Distribution.

  • Drive CRM adoption across the sales team through the design and delivery of structured training programs, one-on-one coaching, and ongoing capability uplift as the platform evolves
  • Ensure campaigns are effectively configured and tracked within the CRM, with clear reporting in place to monitor performance and measure effectiveness against objectives
  • Identify and implement improvements across the platform stack — including Dynamics 365, Power BI, Power Automate, and Microsoft 365 — to drive greater integration, efficiency, and commercial impact for the sales team

Your Capability and Experience

  • Proven success in a sales performance, CRM management, or sales operations role, ideally within wealth management or financial services.

  • Demonstrated experience owning CRM data governance, including data quality standards, hygiene practices, and field-level conventions that underpin reliable reporting
  • Strong Power BI capability, with experience building and maintaining sales performance dashboards and translating data into actionable commercial insights
