Job Description

About the Role

This role is well suited to a high-performing sales professional ready to take the next step into management. While a strong, proven sales track record is essential, the company is committed to developing leadership capability and will provide the necessary support and training to build managerial confidence.

  • Coaching agents and the internal sales team in technical advisory and design-led selling.
  • Building a high-performance, consultative sales culture aligned with brand values.
  • Owning and continuously refining the full sales process from lead generation through to specification, agent execution, and manufacture.
  • Developing and executing strategies to engage with leading architects.
  • Scheduling and delivering CPDs, design reviews, presentations, and showroom consultations by appointment.
  • Expanding market presence through effective segmentation and relationship building.
  • Taking accountability for achieving sales targets through specification-led demand.
  • Managing pipeline health, ensuring accurate forecasting, and driving strong conversion through the agent network.
  • Maintaining margin discipline and avoiding discount-driven sales practices.
  • Driving sustainable growth through high-quality, specification-based sales rather than transactional approaches.
  • Training agents to operate as trusted advisors in line with a premium customer experience.
  • Ensuring agents have a strong understanding of design intent, technical detail, and product standards.
  • Supporting agents in converting specified projects with high accuracy and strong margins.
  • Collaborating with marketing to showcase completed projects, architect partnerships, and brand positioning.
