Sales Coach
Wilmslow/Remote hybrid
At Citation, we offer something unique for both our colleagues and clients – an opportunity to grow, thrive, and succeed like nowhere else. As we celebrate 30 years of excellence, our focus remains on growth, investment, and service quality.
We’re one of the UK’s biggest providers of Health & Safety, HR, Employment Law, and ISO services. But what really sets us apart is our people. At Citation, we bring our personalities to work, not just our expertise.
With year-on-year double-digit growth, this is your chance to join a fast-moving business that values vision, determination, agility, and a knack for building great relationships.
We’ve built our success without cutting costs or creating bureaucracy. Instead, we prioritise actions over politics, empowerment over micro-management, and innovation over hierarchy. We are leaders who love what we do – and we want you to share in that passion.
This is a truly exciting time to become part of Citation. With over 110,000 clients who love and rely on us across the group – and 15 business acquisitions in just three years – our ambition for growth has no limits.
We’re also backed by KKR, Hg Capital, and HarbourVest, three of the world’s most respected private equity investors. Their new investment strengthens our position, ensuring stability and providing a solid foundation for even greater success over the next 3–5 years and beyond.

Your experience in outbound sales, coupled with a proven track record of success, will enable you to provide tailored support and contribute to the continual improvement of our team’s performance.
