About this role
At Trust Bank, this role puts you at the center of building a high-performing bancassurance sales operation from the ground up. You'll own the complete sales pipeline—from leads generated through the bank's mobile app through to policy issuance—and manage the performance metrics, incentive structures, and daily rhythms that keep the channel running. Working directly under the Head of Bancassurance, you'll design and maintain the sales scorecard, set targets across three sales teams, and drive weekly huddles and monthly reviews to keep performance on track. This is a role that demands equal comfort with spreadsheets and the sales floor: you'll analyze conversion rates and pipeline data while coaching team leads and identifying where individual salespeople need support or intervention.
The position sits at the intersection of sales leadership, operations, and compliance. You'll collaborate across Product, Technology, Marketing, Risk, Finance, and the insurance partner to iterate on lead quality and conversion journeys. You'll also own governance—ensuring fair dealing, needs-based advice, and regulatory compliance across both banking and insurance frameworks. Success here requires someone who thrives in ambiguity, can translate targets into daily activity, and balances aggressive sales goals with sales quality and customer outcomes.
This suits a sales leader with proven expertise in life insurance sales processes, performance management, and lead conversion optimization, combined with strong analytical skills and the ability to influence and coach across a matrixed environment. You'll need to be adaptable, proactive, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves in a fast-paced digital bank environment.
