Are you a proven sales leader who thrives on the energy of the deal?
Can you transform a team of property professionals into an elite, high-performing sales unit?
Ready to take total ownership of a fast-paced sales pipeline and drive an auction room to a crescendo?
Purpose of the Role:
The Sales Manager will lead, motivate, and develop a team of five Valuers to maximise instructions, auction entries, and revenue while maintaining exceptional customer service standards. This role balances strategic leadership, hands-on coaching, and high-performance sales management.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Strategy
Partner closely with the Operations team to align sales activity with capacity, manage client expectations, and meet strict auction deadlines.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Auction instructions secured, total auction entries, revenue achieved, gross profit, average fee size, and conversion rates.

Desirable Criteria
Background in Property Auctions, Estate Agency, or Property Valuation.
Deep understanding of the property investment market and auction processes.
Personal Attributes
A resilient leader who leads by example and holds teams accountable with respect.
Proactive, highly organised, and thrives under the pressure of a fast-paced auction cycle.
Passionate about people development and continuous process improvement.
Decision-Making Authority
Authorised to allocate sales territories and accounts.
Autonomy over day-to-day sales activities and team performance management.
Authority to recommend pricing (within guidelines) and initiate recruitment/disciplinary actions.
Direct line to escalate strategic commercial decisions to the Managing Director.
What Success Looks Like: The First 12 Months
