Vico Homes is built on the foundations of WDH. We are looking for a New Homes Sales Manager to join our Development’s New Homes Sales Team.

A home is more than four walls and a roof. It should be a safe place. A place to start things. A place of opportunities. A place to grow. A place where you feel you belong.

These are the places we provide for today and for the future. This is what marks us out as one of the leading players in the social housing sector. We have over 32,000 homes across the north of England, home to tens of thousands of people. And people are at the centre of what we do.

Our people are approachable and professional. But we’re not afraid to be optimistic and show our passion for what we do to support our customers. We share a common vision, acting confidently to ensure we remain at the forefront of making it happen.

Together, we’re building better futures and vibrant communities.

• Use market insight and data-driven decision-making to identify opportunities, assess demand and help shape the future of our Shared Ownership and homeownership offer.
• Build strong relationships with customers and key stakeholders, ensuring a seamless sales journey from initial enquiry through to completion.
• Drive commercial success by monitoring performance, managing sales forecasts and budgets, and continually seeking opportunities to improve conversion rates and customer satisfaction.

What we’re looking for

• A proven sales leader with significant experience in new build sales, a strong customer focus and the ability to inspire, motivate and develop high-performing teams to achieve ambitious targets.
• Excellent commercial, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to use market insight, data and sound judgement to drive performance, manage priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced, regulated environment.
