At Dignity, we’re proud to offer exceptional support and care at one of life’s most sensitive moments. As a Sales Executive, you’ll be at the heart of that care, guiding customers through funeral arrangements and funeral plan options with compassion, professionalism, and clarity.
You will work as part of a dynamic, high-performing team responsible for converting both inbound and outbound sales leads, offering direct cremation services and pre-paid funeral plans. While experience is beneficial, we’re equally interested in personality: someone who’s confident, resilient, and genuinely motivated by helping people.

Key Responsibilities:
- Manage inbound enquiries from customers needing immediate support or planning ahead

- Maintain FCA compliance and adhere to internal quality assurance standards
- Accurately manage CRM systems and customer data
- Collaborate with your team to exceed conversion and sales targets
- Identify and sensitively support vulnerable customers
- Maintain punctuality, attendance, and professionalism as part of a regulated, customer-centric environment
- Hit your performance targets week on week, including conversion rate, volume metrics and QA (Quality Assurance) score
- Handle a high volume of calls, while staying on top of a large existing pipeline of prospects
What We’re Looking For:
- Previous experience in a sales or telephone-based customer service environment
- Resilient and confident communicator who thrives in a fast-paced setting
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to regulatory standards
- Tech-savvy, with experience using Microsoft Office and CRM platforms
- Motivated by personal and team-based performance targets
- Capable of navigating sensitive conversations with empathy and professionalism
- Punctual, reliable, and conscientious, especially important in our regulated environment
- Experience in an FCA-regulated industry is a strong advantage
What We Offer:
- Base salary of £26,180 per annum
- Uncapped monthly commission
- Full 2-week induction followed by mentoring, side-by-side coaching and 8–10 hours of development each month
- Pension Scheme
- Life Assurance x2 annual salary
- Hybrid working flexibility after initial training
- Genuine career development opportunities in a growing and supportive team
- A chance to make a real difference in people’s lives
