Sales Support Lead - HR Tech

Initial 12-month part‑time fixed‑term contract with view to permanency. 25 hours per week across 4 to 5 days. Flexible hours.

What we do?

We help companies go beyond the process, to understand your people and make decisions you can defend. Compono adds the intelligence layer that helps you understand who your people are, how they work, and what they need.

Compono connects hiring, culture, capability, and competence into one platform. Built on decades of organisational psychology research and validated best practice.

What we build

• HIRE – Know who you’re hiring. Before you hire them. Applicant tracking that profiles candidates against your culture and your best people – a match to how your organisation actually works.
• ENGAGE – Know how your people actually work. Not just how they feel. Culture assessment that measures your organisation against its own goals, with real insight into how your people work together.
• DEVELOP – Know what your people need to learn. Then make it easy to deliver. Learning that builds capability your organisation actually needs, mapped to real performance gaps – not a generic course catalogue.
• ASSURE – Know they’re competent. And prove it. Competency frameworks your organisation defines, assessed and credentialled at scale.

What this role actually is

You are the Head of Sales' indispensable right hand—part Team Support, part Commercial Operations Lead. You are a commercially minded and operationally driven professional who thrives in the details, acting as the engine behind our go‑to‑market execution. You manage the systems, processes, data, and daily rhythms that keep our commercial team running smoothly.

You don't just surface information; you action it. By taking ownership of daily executive preparation, CRM management, proposal drafting, and stakeholder communication, you multiply the Head of Sales' commercial output. You handle the operational heavy lifting so they can focus on discovery, demos, and closing.

Note: This is not a stepping stone to a Business Development role. It is the destination. We need a career support professional who finds immense satisfaction in turning chaos into clarity, anticipating needs, and delivering high‑level commercial support.

On a typical week, you will:

• Build and deliver a morning sales pack with priority actions, prospect intel, suggested angles, and prepared follow‑ups
• Research target accounts using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, data enrichment tools, and AI tools like Claude, Gemini for synthesis
• Keep HubSpot pristine: pipeline stages, next steps, close dates, account flags
• Draft first‑pass proposals and business cases off the back of discovery calls (target: within 24 hours)
• Produce decks, slide outlines, follow‑up emails, and outreach sequences in Compono’s brand voice
• Take warm follow‑up calls, partner intros, dormant‑lead reactivation, and inbound reply triage
• Run weekly pipeline reviews and surface what moved, what stalled, what’s next, and where to focus
• Build the customer‑proof bank, objection handling library, vertical playbooks, and reusable talk tracks

Ideally you:

• Know HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and modern outreach tools well enough to be self‑sufficient
• Understand HR language. You don’t need to be the expert. You just need to read an HR leader’s LinkedIn profile and immediately understand their job and likely pain points
• Have done sales work before. Built decks. Written proposals. Contributed to business cases. Sat in on discovery calls. You know what good looks like and can produce sales‑grade output without supervision
• Can pick up the phone. Warm, qualified conversations. Not cold calling. Not closing. Just credible, useful, prepared conversations when one is needed
• Are obsessively organised. The role lives or dies on whether the daily pack lands on time, whether HubSpot is clean, and whether nothing slips through the cracks

We’re particularly interested in commercially savvy executive assistants with sales‑level experience and a working understanding of HR tech.
