About the role

You will design and run the new-business engine for partner acquisition - signing multi-branch agencies, large independents, BTR operators and portfolio landlords. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll be out in the market leading by example, closing deals and helping the team do the same.

You’ll report into the Commercial Sales & Partnerships Director and work closely with Product, Ops and Marketing to make sure new partners activate quickly and deliver commercial results.

What you’ll own (day-to-day)

• Generate and qualify pipeline; own forecasting and deliver predictable quarterly results.

• Close mid-market and enterprise partner deals (agents, networks, BTR, portfolio landlords).

• Take new partners from signed contract through to activation with Product & Ops.

• Use data and testing to refine ICP, shorten sales cycles and lift conversion rates.

• Create repeatable playbooks and scalable sales motions to grow the team quickly.

• Collaborate with Marketing on joint campaigns and GTM execution.

• Build and run an outbound sales motion: recruit, coach and lead 1–3 BDMs and own the team’s performance.

• Report performance, risks and opportunities to senior leadership.

About you

• Experience building and running partner sales or new-business functions - ideally in software, proptech, fintech or insurtech.

• Hands-on operator: comfortable prospecting, taking meetings and closing deals while leading the team.

• Proven record of closing multi-branch or mid-market commercial deals.

• Strong commercial judgement - confident with targets, forecasting and CRM discipline.

• Data literate - you use metrics to diagnose issues and improve performance.

• Clear, pragmatic communicator who builds trust internally and with partners.

• Comfortable travelling across the UK for partner meetings.

• Inclusive leader — you develop team capability and create a positive environment.

• Experience in lettings/property is a plus, but a background in software sales and operator experience with a willingness to learn the industry works too
