About

  • 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.

  • 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.
