The Opportunity

The Housing Association are delivering an ambitious asset strategy to unlock capital from selected properties and reinvest across its wider portfolio.

With a live pipeline already in motion, the role is now looking for a commercially driven, hands-on professional to take ownership of sales activity and convert opportunities into completed deals.

This is not a desk-based or purely strategic role, it’s a front-line, deal-making position where your impact will be visible from day one.

The Role

You’ll take control of an active pipeline across:

* Void property sales

* Tenant purchases

* Shared ownership and staircasing

Your focus will be simple:

Generate momentum, drive engagement, and get deals over the line.

Key Responsibilities:

* Manage end-to-end property sales from instruction through to completion

* Progress existing opportunities (voids and tenant interest) into completed transactions

* Engage directly with tenants to understand motivations and convert interest into sales

* Work closely with estate agents, solicitors, and internal stakeholders to maintain pace and remove blockers

* Develop and implement practical, commercially driven sales strategies

* Structure incentives where needed (e.g. pricing, minor works) to unlock demand

* Support shared ownership sales and drive staircasing activity across the portfolio

* Maintain visibility of pipeline performance and ensure consistent delivery

What We’re Looking For:

* This role is all about execution and delivery.

You’ll likely come from experience with:

* Residential property sales (estate agency, auctions, investment sales), or

* Housing association sales / home ownership / disposals

Essential:

* Proven track record of personally closing property deals

* Strong negotiation and commercial instinct

* Comfortable working directly with tenants and buyers

* Ability to operate autonomously and proactively

* Experience managing the full sales lifecycle

Desirable:

* Exposure to shared ownership or affordable housing

* Experience working with tenanted stock or complex sales environments
