Sales Manager - Retirement Living

Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne

Competitive Base Salary + Attractive Commissions

Help people make one of the best decisions of their lives

An outstanding opportunity exists for an experienced Sales Manager to join a well-established and highly regarded retirement living organisation with an exceptional reputation for creating vibrant, welcoming communities where residents enjoy independence, connection, security and an outstanding lifestyle.

This is far more than a property sales role. Every home you sell represents a new chapter for someone choosing a lifestyle filled with friendship, freedom and peace of mind. You will guide prospective residents and their families through one of life's most significant decisions with empathy, professionalism and genuine care.

About the Community

Located in Melbourne's beautiful eastern suburbs, this premium retirement community is renowned for its beautifully maintained grounds, quality homes and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy an independent lifestyle with the reassurance of a supportive environment, excellent amenities and a vibrant calendar of social activities that truly make it feel like home.

About the Role

Reporting to the Group Sales Manager, you will be responsible for growing occupancy by building genuine relationships both inside and outside the community. Along with managing the sales journey from enquiry to settlement, you will become the local face of the village, creating opportunities for prospective residents to experience the lifestyle that makes the community so special.

You will:

Manage the complete sales journey from enquiry to move-in





Conduct personalised village tours and showcase the lifestyle on offer

Build trusted relationships with prospective residents and their families

Develop strong relationships with local community groups, businesses and service providers

Plan and coordinate open days, lifestyle events, information sessions and community activities

Develop marketing and community engagement initiatives that increase local awareness

Maintain a strong pipeline of enquiries and referral sources

Work closely with the Group Sales Manager, Village Manager and operations team

Represent the organisation with warmth, integrity and professionalism

Achieve sales targets while delivering an exceptional customer experience

About You

You are a confident and compassionate sales professional who understands that people buy homes with both their head and their heart.

You will bring:

Proven success in residential real estate, retirement living or lifestyle village sales

A current Victorian Estate Agent Representative Certificate (or equivalent)

Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills

A genuine passion for helping older Australians

Excellent organisational and time management skills

Professional presentation and a positive,



engaging personality

Strong negotiation and closing skills

The ability to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative team

Experience organising community events, promotional activities or marketing initiatives

A natural ability to network and build lasting relationships within the local community

Creative thinking with the energy to generate new opportunities and partnerships

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to combine a rewarding sales career with work that genuinely changes people's lives.

In return you will enjoy:

Competitive salary with an attractive uncapped commission structure

The opportunity to represent a premium retirement community with an outstanding reputation

Strong support from an experienced leadership team

A rewarding career where you make a meaningful difference every day

Excellent long-term earning potential

The rewards of this role extend well beyond financial success. Years after someone purchases their new home, residents often say it was one of the best decisions they have ever made.

You are not simply selling homes. You are helping people discover freedom, independence, security, friendship and community.

This is not a desk-bound sales role. We are looking for someone who enjoys being out in the community, building partnerships, hosting events, welcoming visitors and creating opportunities for people to experience everything retirement living has to offer.
