Location: Essex

Salary: up to £65,000 basic + £90,000 OTE + car allowance

A brilliant opportunity has come up to join a leading 5* housebuilder as a Sales Manager, overseeing developments across Essex.

This is a business with a real reputation for quality — both in the homes they build and the way they look after their people. It’s a supportive, ambitious environment where careers are nurtured, ideas are welcomed, and progression isn’t just talked about, it actually happens.

We’re looking for an experienced Sales Manager from within the housebuilding industry who leads with empathy as well as drive — someone who enjoys bringing the best out of their team, building trust with customers, and creating a sales experience people genuinely remember.

You’ll be part of a close-knit Sales and Marketing team, reporting directly to the Sales Director.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading, mentoring, and championing your on-site Sales Consultants — helping them grow and feel supported.
• Shaping sales strategies and guiding developments smoothly from launch through to completion.
• Partnering with the marketing team on campaigns and customer experience that stand out.
• Owning pricing, reporting, and market insight to stay ahead of the curve.
• Making sure every development is presented to that signature 5* standard.
• Protecting the customer journey from first enquiry to the day they get their keys.

What we’re looking for

• New homes sales experience at Sales Manager level with a volume housebuilder (unfortunatly agents or sales advisors won’t be considered at this time).
• A natural people-leader — someone who coaches, listens, and lifts their team.
• A track record of delivering results without losing sight of the customer.
• Strong organisation and communication skills, and confidence around reporting and strategy.
• A collaborative approach — someone who enjoys being part of a team and seeing others succeed.
• A full UK driving licence, and flexibility to work some weekends (with time back in the week).

What’s on offer

• Up to £65,000 basic with OTE up to £90,000.
• Car allowance.
• Commission and bonus scheme.
• Private healthcare.
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• A genuinely supportive culture and clear progression pathways.
