If you're someone who thrives on performance, loves building high-energy teams, and knows how to turn pipeline into results - this is a role where you can genuinely make your mark.

You'll take ownership of a small but high-impact sales team, driving occupancy, revenue and conversion performance while shaping how the function evolves as the business grows.
This isn't just about managing - it's about leading from the front, setting standards, improving performance and building a culture of accountability and energy.
You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across Sales, Marketing and Operations, giving you real visibility and influence across the wider business.

- Using data and insight to identify trends, risks and opportunities
- Delivering clear reporting, forecasting and performance updates
- Working closely with Marketing and Operations to align campaigns and availability
- Ensuring CRM discipline, data accuracy and structured processes
- Keeping customer experience at the heart of every interaction
What We're Looking For
- Experience in a sales leadership, senior sales or supervisory role
- Strong track record of delivering against targets, revenue or occupancy goals
- Experience managing or mentoring a team (formally or informally)
- Strong understanding of sales pipelines, conversion and CRM systems
- Confident using data to drive decisions and improve performance
- Highly organised, proactive and comfortable owning results
- A natural leader who can motivate, influence and build energy within a team
- Resilient, driven and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- A positive, collaborative approach that fits a high-growth culture
What's In It For You
