Ready for your next step in Shared Ownership sales?

This is a great opportunity for an experienced New Homes Sales / Shared Ownership professional who is ready to step up, take ownership of a sales function and have more influence over how schemes are marketed and sold.

You will join an established housing provider with a growing development programme, taking ownership of Shared Ownership, outright sales and resales across South East London.

What makes this one worth a look?

• £48,314 salary
• Hybrid working - just 2 days a week in the office
• Monday-Friday, 35 hours
• 12-month FTC with a genuine view to permanent
• Senior position with line management responsibility
• Own the sales and marketing strategy across new developments
• Work across Shared Ownership, outright sale, resales and staircasing
• Opportunity to influence pricing, launches, agents and marketing - not just sell from a desk
• Join a team with a strong pipeline of new homes

The role

You will take ownership of the sales journey from launch through to completion, making sure homes are marketed effectively, sales values are maximised and buyers receive a great experience.

You will be involved in:

• Leading Shared Ownership and New Homes sales
• Creating and delivering sales & marketing strategies for new developments
• Managing launches, viewings, reservations and negotiations
• Driving off-plan sales and sales performance
• Managing and developing a Sales Executive
• Managing external sales agents, solicitors and marketing partners
• Overseeing resales, staircasing and other home ownership transactions
• Working closely with development, finance and housing teams
• Ensuring sales processes remain compliant with current legislation and Shared Ownership requirements

What we’re looking for

You will ideally already be working in New Homes, Shared Ownership or residential sales and be ready for a genuine step up.

You should have:

• Proven experience selling Shared Ownership / new homes
• Strong knowledge of the Shared Ownership sales process
• Experience progressing sales from enquiry through to completion
• Confidence negotiating with buyers, agents and solicitors
• A good understanding of conveyancing, leases and home ownership
• A track record of hitting targets and maximising sales values
• The confidence to manage agents, suppliers and stakeholders
• Ideally some team leadership or mentoring experience

You don't need to have held the exact "Senior Sales Executive" title before - we’re interested in someone who has the knowledge, confidence and ambition to step up.

The package

Alongside the £48,314 salary, you'll get 26 days’ annual leave + bank holidays, pension, private medical insurance, life assurance and a range of flexible benefits.

Most importantly, you'll get hybrid working, genuine senior-level responsibility and the opportunity to build a longer-term career in a growing development and sales team.

If you're an experienced Shared Ownership / New Homes Sales professional looking for your next move, this could be the step up you've been waiting for.
