Sales Manager

At The People Pod, we've spent over a decade recruiting top-tier talent in the property sector. We know what great looks like and we're proud to be working with one of the most promising and already highly profitable property investment businesses in the UK. This is a company growing fast and doing it the right way, with a long-term vision, strong leadership, and a genuine focus on helping clients build lasting wealth through smart property investment.

You'll be joining at a pivotal time, taking full ownership of a growing sales team and playing a key role in building the systems, standards and culture that underpin high performance. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, knows how to build and coach teams through a consultative sales process, and wants real influence, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in property sales, particularly from an agency or developer background. It will also suit a proven sales leader from another industry who is used to managing high-performing teams in fast-paced, consultative sales environments. If you can lead people, drive results and coach teams through a complex sales cycle, this is your opportunity to build something meaningful.
