About Verto Homes

Verto is leading the future of homebuilding in the UK. We design and build the country’s most energy-efficient homes — all powered by renewable energy. Every Verto home is a Zero Carbon Smart Home, combining groundbreaking technology with timeless design to deliver homes that are better for people and the planet. As we scale across the South West and beyond, we’re looking for a high-performing Sales Director to take our sales operation to the next level. We were the first housebuilder to deliver a Zero Bills development in partnership with Octopus Energy.

Role Overview

As Sales Director, you’ll be responsible for the full sales function across all Verto developments — leading a team of in-house salespeople and managing a network of external estate agents. You will set the sales strategy, drive performance across teams, and ensure exceptional customer experience throughout the buying journey. Reporting directly to the Directors, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving revenue, shaping the customer journey, and ensuring Verto maintains its position as the market leader in sustainable, design-led homes.

Key Responsibilities

1. Leadership & Management
   • Lead, mentor, and manage a team of 10 sales consultants
   • Set clear KPIs, track performance, and implement coaching plans to hit and exceed targets
   • Build a strong, motivated, high-performing sales culture across the team
2. Sales Strategy & Execution
   • Define and deliver the sales strategy for Verto’s growing portfolio of residential developments
   • Develop sales forecasts, pricing strategy, and go-to-market plans for each new site
   • Work closely with Marketing, Product, and Construction teams to align sales with wider business objectives
3. Agent & Partner Management
   • Oversee relationships with external estate agents and channel partners
   • Set standards and expectations for third-party representation of the Verto brand
   • Conduct regular performance reviews and manage territory coverage
4. Customer Journey
   • Champion a seamless customer experience from first enquiry to final handover
   • Refine the end-to-end sales process to ensure consistent, premium service
   • Be the voice of the customer — gather insights and feedback to inform product development and marketing
5. Reporting & Analysis
   • Provide regular sales reports and insights to the board
   • Monitor market trends, competitor performance, and pipeline data to identify risks and opportunities
   • Own the CRM and sales reporting infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in a senior residential property sales role — ideally at Sales Director or Head of Sales level
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing high-performing teams
• Demonstrable success in driving sales strategies and delivering results in a target-driven environment
• Experience managing relationships with estate agents and third-party sales partners
• Commercially astute, data-led, and customer-obsessed
• Passionate about sustainability, design, and the future of housing
• Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management skills

Why Join Verto

• Join a mission-driven company at the forefront of the net-zero transition
• Shape the sales strategy of the UK’s leading sustainable housebuilder
• Work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with clear opportunities for progression
• Competitive salary, commission structure, and benefits package
• Be part of a team that’s building the future — one Zero Carbon Smart Home at a time
