Job description

Company Description

SIXT van & truck combine the strength of an industry leader with the dedication of a family run business. We are a leading commercial vehicle rental company specializing in providing high-quality rental services to a diverse range of clients. Our fleet consists of a wide variety of commercial vehicles including trucks, vans, and specialized vehicles and we take pride in delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining strong industry partnerships. 

Job Description

As SIXT van & truck continues to grow its footprint across the UK, we’re looking for a driven and experienced New Business Manager to join our high-performing Sales Team. In this dynamic, field-based role, you’ll promote our innovative ‘usership over ownership’ model, helping businesses unlock flexible, cost-effective fleet solutions that keep them moving and growing.

For many businesses—builders, electricians, couriers, and more—their van is their livelihood. If they’re not on the road, they’re not earning. Your mission? Spot the opportunity in every van you pass and turn it into a long-term customer relationship.

What You’ll Do – Your Day-to-Day:

  • Own your territory: Prospect and develop new business opportunities across the London & the South East region, focusing on SME fleets of all shapes and sizes.
  • Be on the ground: This is a field-based role—expect to be out meeting customers, understanding their operations, and identifying how SVAT can support their success.
  • Lead with insight: Stay on top of local market trends, upcoming projects, and commercial developments to open doors and start meaningful conversations.
  • Consult and collaborate: Understand your customer’s unique needs and craft tailored solutions using the full SVAT product portfolio.
  • Close deals and build loyalty: Generate your own leads, convert them into trading accounts, and provide ongoing support that turns first-time customers into long-term partners.
  • Keep it clean and current: Accurately log all activity and customer information into our CRM system (Salesforce) and maintain high data integrity.

 

Qualifications

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

  • Proven B2B sales success, ideally in mobility services, vehicle rental/leasing, or automotive industries.
  • A strong background in new business development and the confidence to independently generate, pursue, and close your own leads.
  • A structured, strategic approach to sales—with the agility to adapt to a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.
  • Self-motivation and energy—you enjoy being out in the field, meeting people, and going the extra mile to win business.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Experience with sales tools such as Salesforce (preferred but not essential).
