Entrepreneurial Software Provider Seeks Sales Manager / Sales Director

We are proud to be supporting Sypro, one of the region’s most innovative software companies in the recruitment and selection of a Sales Manager / Sales Director.

Founded 12 years ago by Gerard Toplass and Dr Stuart Kings, Sypro originally developed “Contract Manager”, their first innovation, a project management software solution for the construction and services sectors.  This software has helped leading national and international companies manage £10bn of projects to date.

Sypro have more recently developed “Total Risk Management” (TRM) to help organisations with a disproportionate amount of risk to capital.  The Total Risk Management software provides risk and asset management in addition to compliance and support with planned and preventative maintenance of assets (buildings, equipment, systems etc).

With an ambition to double the turnover of Sypro in the next 4 years, growing and developing the TRM side of the business, the Sales Manager / Sales Director will work closely with Gerard and the senior management team building strategic relationships nationally with schools, academies, and public sector organisations.  This year will see the business moving to plush new city centre offices currently in development – you can check them out here!

The business  also operates an employee share ownership plan, so the successful sales manager could have the opportunity to own a stake in the business.
