A Senior Sales Executive manages the Sales family within a business unit or large region, primarily through subordinate managers. They should set the strategy for Sales in an assigned business unit or region and develop tactics to execute on that strategy in support of business unit goals, as well as focussing on responsible business growth that is compliant, of acceptable risk and profitable. They should also identify the markets and areas for future growth and development and ensure staff are deployed accordingly.

A Senior Sales Executive should be intimately familiar with all relevant regulatory events and strategic industry issues related to a particular segment. They should be at the professional level to represent the company at industry events, on industry boards and committees, conferences and panels.

A Senior Sales Executive is responsible for all commercial aspects of new business and therefore requires a deep understanding of financial and commercial aspects aligning those with the company's legal and risk guidelines. As a senior leader, the individual must have an understanding of risk - both credit and operational, as well as issues relating to compliance and KYC. The individual must both understand, and comply with, proper governance of the sales process. In addition, as a senior manager the individual should also ensure that their team (which may consist of Sales Executives and Sales Partners in a number of separate locations) has a full understanding of this process and that team members are responsible for the correct execution of this process.
