This is a pivotal leadership role within a high-performing business handling a significant volume of transactions annually. You’ll take ownership of the sales pipeline, lead a dedicated team, and ensure every client receives a seamless, professional, and highly personalised experience from offer through to completion.

You will be responsible for overseeing and driving the entire sales progression function—balancing efficiency, communication, and client care at every stage of the process.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing and progressing a high-volume pipeline from sale agreed through to completion
  • Identifying and resolving issues quickly to keep transactions moving
  • Delivering a proactive, relationship-led service to both clients and buyers
  • Acting as a central point of contact for solicitors, agents, buyers, and vendors
  • Leading, mentoring, and developing a small sales progression team
  • Monitoring performance metrics including fall-through rates and transaction times
  • Continuously improving processes to ensure efficiency without compromising service

About You

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Proven experience in sales progression or residential property transactions
  • Experience managing or mentoring a team
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage a busy pipeline
  • Excellent communication skills—confident, professional, and personable
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
  • The ability to balance attention to detail with a commercial, big-picture approach

What Success Looks Like

  • A consistently progressing pipeline with minimal delays
  • Strong completion rates and reduced fall-throughs
  • A motivated, high-performing team
  • Clients who feel supported, informed, and valued throughout their journey

Why Apply?

  • Join a well-established, market-leading independent agency
  • Play a key role in a business that values service as much as results
  • Opportunity to lead and shape a critical department
  • Supportive, collaborative, and ambitious team environment
