This is a pivotal role within the branch.

While the Branch Manager is often out winning new instructions and conducting valuations, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the sales business - leading the team, selling properties, managing the pipeline and ensuring every sale crosses the finish line.

If you're passionate about people, property and performance, we'd love to hear from you.
