North Property Group (NPG) is transforming the property industry with a bold, innovative approach. With over two decades of combined experience, we’ve been delivering award-winning service and groundbreaking solutions since our inception in 2017. From Leeds to Manchester and beyond, we are more than a property agency — we are a team dedicated to crafting exceptional experiences and unlocking exclusive opportunities.

Why Join us?

We’ve been recognized for our innovation and growth, earning accolades such as:

• Ranked 46th on The Sunday Times list of fastest-growing founder-led businesses in 2023.
• Sales & Lettings Agency of the Year 2024 by the RESI Awards.
• Finalist for the Property Week Awards, Great British Entrepreneur Awards, and more.
• Among Yorkshire's top 10 fastest-growing businesses in 2023.

The Role

We are seeking an ambitious and driven Sales Director to lead and grow our high-performing sales team across three offices. The successful candidate will oversee the sales of UK off-plan properties to international investors and owner-occupiers, ensuring the team meets and exceeds targets while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. This role requires a strategic leader with proven experience managing multiple sales teams in a fast-paced, target-driven environment. Real estate experience is not essential, but a strong track record in sales leadership and team development is critical.

Responsibilities

Sales Leadership & Strategy

• Develop and implement a cohesive sales strategy to drive revenue growth across all three offices.
• Set ambitious yet achievable sales targets and ensure they are consistently met or exceeded.
• Monitor market trends and competitor activity to identify new opportunities and stay ahead of the curve.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to align sales strategies with promotional campaigns.

Team Management & Development

• Lead, mentor, and motivate a team of 15 sales professionals (growing to 25 within 18 months).
• Manage and support 3 Associate Directors, ensuring each branch operates efficiently and effectively.
• Oversee the recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing training of new and existing staff to maintain a high-performing team.
• Foster a positive, results-driven culture that encourages collaboration, innovation, and accountability.

Operational Excellence

• Ensure all sales processes and procedures are streamlined and consistently followed across all offices.
• Maintain high standards of customer service and professionalism in all client interactions.
• Implement and leverage technology to enhance sales performance and reporting.
• Regularly review and analyse sales data to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions.
• Travel between the three offices as required to provide hands-on support and ensure alignment.
• Build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including investors, developers, and internal teams.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in sales management, with a proven track record of leading multiple teams in a high-pressure, target-driven environment.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire, motivate, and develop teams to achieve their full potential.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
• Tech-savvy, with experience using CRM systems, sales analytics tools, and other technology to drive performance.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results under tight deadlines.
• Ambitious, driven, and results-oriented, with a passion for achieving and exceeding targets.
• Experience in the real estate or property sector is a plus but not essential.
• Knowledge of international markets and experience working with global clients.
• Experience scaling teams and managing rapid growth.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Achievement of monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets.
• Team growth and retention rates.
• Client satisfaction and feedback.
• Successful implementation of training and development programs.
• Effective use of technology to enhance sales performance.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunity to lead and shape a growing sales team in a dynamic industry.
• Professional development and career progression opportunities.
• Travel opportunities to work across multiple offices.
• A supportive and collaborative working environment.
• Modern, stylish offices designed to foster collaboration and creativity.
• Autonomy to solve challenges and make an impact in a forward-thinking organization.
