Join a business that helps students take their next big step – and shape yours at the same time. We’re looking for a high-energy, commercially minded Sales Executive to drive occupancy across our student accommodation. If you love converting interest into signed deals, thrive in a target environment, and enjoy meeting new people every day, this is for you.

Our sales cycle is human. Behind every enquiry is a student with ambitions, anxieties and choices to make. We sell more than rooms; we sell belonging, community and possibility. That requires pace and commercial focus but also care and trust.

What you’ll be doing

• Driving new leads and enquiries through proactive outreach (open days, student fairs, events & digital channels)
• Converting enquiries into viewings, and viewings into bookings
• Delivering compelling tours that help students feel at home before they’ve even moved in
• Handling objections with confidence and empathy
• Encouraging existing residents to rebook for next year through tailored offers and events
• Keeping a tight sales pipeline: fast follow-up, disciplined CRM usage, and strong closing conversations
• Achieving occupancy and revenue targets across multiple properties
• Staying sharp on competitor activity, pricing and market trends
• Win in a competitive market by staying sharp on pricing & offers

What you’ll bring

• Has proven sales experience (B2B or B2C): recruitment sales, mobile/tech, hospitality, property or business development
• Hungry for targets, recognition and commission
• Thrives in a sales buzz with seasonal peaks
• Competitive but always values-led and customer-focused
• Loves solving objections and closing conversations
• Has strong communication and negotiation skills
• Enjoys meeting people and building relationships
• Is organised, proactive and self motivated
