Sales Manager
This is a Permanent, Full Time vacancy that will close in {x} days at {xx:xx} BST.
The vacancy
We are looking for a Sales Manager who is well-versed in the sale of shared ownership homes and the compliance requirements that come with grant-funded homes. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering the group’s sales functions in relation to shared ownership and rent to buy, maximising sales performance through your marketing expertise.
Reporting to the Head of Development and Regeneration, it will be your responsibility to maximise sales income and achieve annual sales targets. You will produce monthly and quarterly reports to the executive leadership team and committee on sales performance.
You will have quarterly and annual targets for sales revenue, and other sales-related KPIs. You will increase income, control spending, and explore more efficient ways of working. It is crucial for you to promote Connexus’ sales, regeneration and new build projects, both inside and outside the organisation. It is key that you support and guide the sales team and the wider development team to help them perform well and keep improving.
We are looking for a candidate with strong knowledge of shared ownership, resales and staircasing processing and compliance requirements. You will be managing one colleague but will be hands on with sales and marketing, so a strong marketing background is also important. A knowledge of rent to buy tenure is desirable but not essential. With the ability to inspire, you will be skilled in building and maintaining productive relationships and demonstrate success in negotiating sales with buyers. A background in the social housing sector, a good understanding of the broader economic factors influencing the housing market and extensive experience of working on Homes England funded shared ownership homes is a must.
This role has been identified as suitable for hybrid working which will be a combination of home working and working from our offices, with Head office at Craven Arms and travel to other offices as required.
Shortlisting date: 09 March 2026
