• Build strong relationships, taking time to understand individual needs and circumstances
• Deliver reservations in line with sales targets
• Support development launches, events and open days
• Maintain marketing suites and show homes to a high standard
• Work closely with Sales Managers and marketing teams to drive demand
• Keep accurate records and manage activity through our CRM systems
• Monitor local market activity and contribute to improving the customer offer

What you’ll bring

• Experience in a sales role, ideally within property or a customer-focused environment
• A people-first approach, with strong empathy and the ability to build trust and rapport
• Confidence working towards targets while maintaining a high standard of customer care
• Patience and the ability to support customers through longer decision-making journeys
• Strong organisation skills and attention to detail, with confidence using systems
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
