Southern Sales Manager - Retirement Living

£50,000 basic + uncapped commission (OTE c. £65k)
Full-time | Monday-Friday | Regional Role - South / Cotswolds & South London

Are you an experienced Sales Manager in retirement or later living? Here's a unique opportunity to lead a small, engaged team across two established retirement living developments - where your leadership, experience, and relationship-building skills will directly impact sales success and customer satisfaction.

This is an additional hire, not a replacement. The team, structure, and commission plan are already in place; all that's needed is a leader to drive results, coach a strong team, and deliver a consultative, customer-first sales experience.

Benefits & Perks:

• £50,000 basic + £500 per completion (OTE c. £65k based on 30 completions).
• Matched pension up to 6%.
• 35 days holiday, including bank holidays.
• Private healthcare contributions and lifestyle/retail discounts.
• Leadership & management development via the FlightPath programme.
• 2 days paid volunteering per year.
• Fully expensed travel - never out of pocket.

What's in it for you?

Autonomy & Ownership

• Manage your own diary, sites, and leadership style.
• Build on existing success and make this role your own.

Team Leadership

• Lead and mentor a capable sales team of 4.
• Drive performance, develop skills, and inspire your team.

Support & Infrastructure

• Work alongside a hands-on Sales Director who values your input.
• Access CRM, marketing, admin support, and fully expensed travel - focus on what you do best: selling and leading.

Consultative Sales Approach

• Engage with clients in a customer-first, trust-building environment.
• Lead appointments, events, and community outreach with a relationship-led sales focus.

Work-Life Balance

• Monday-Friday, 36 hours/week with occasional pre-planned weekend events.

What you'll do:

• Lead, coach, and motivate your sales team.
• Manage the full sales pipeline, from enquiry to completion.
• Improve conversion rates and ensure targets and forecasts are met.
• Be visible on-site, leading key customer conversations.
• Collaborate with marketing for events, campaigns, and local engagement.
• Travel between two southern sites (all travel fully expensed).

What will help you succeed:

• Proven sales management experience, coaching-led, not micromanaging.
• Background in retirement living, later living, or related property sectors (new build, residential, care homes).
• CRM discipline and pipeline management expertise.
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• Driving licence & access to a car (travel covered).
