YOUR NEW EMPLOYER

Your new employer has spent the past several years quietly building a substantial portfolio of masterplanned communities across regional NSW and Queensland. The land is there, the projects are there and the construction capability is in place. The residential pipeline now sits at around 7,500 lots, with sales volumes expected to grow from approximately 400 last year towards 600 annually over the next three years.

With that growth comes a lot of moving parts. More purchasers, more contracts, more settlements, more external agencies, more data and a much greater need for the systems and processes behind the sales team to be absolutely rock solid.

Culture matters here too. This is a founder-led environment where senior leaders stay close to the work, take ownership and get involved. If you like being trusted to make things happen rather than waiting for layers of approval, you will fit in well.

YOUR NEW JOB

Think of this as the engine room behind Residential Sales. Working closely with the Head of Sales & Marketing, you will keep the operational side of the function moving from first enquiry through to settlement. At any given time, hundreds of purchasers may be at different stages across multiple developments. The role is about keeping visibility over what has exchanged, what is waiting on finance, what is due to settle, what is at risk and what needs attention.

Contracts are a big part of it, along with the governance around agency agreements, purchaser documentation, commissions and sales processes.



You do not need to be a lawyer, but you do need to understand property transactions well enough to spot when something is not right and know when to escalate it.

You will also oversee the operational side of external sales agencies, including agreements, commissions and reporting, while leading the day-to-day Sales Administration function and supporting one direct report. As the business grows, there is real opportunity to improve the way things are done, with smarter systems, cleaner processes and stronger controls.

ABOUT YOU

- You come from residential property, development, conveyancing, contracts, legal administration, settlements or sales operations. The title on your current business card matters far less than whether you genuinely understand how a residential property transaction moves from contract through to settlement.
- You are commercially savvy, very comfortable with detail and valuable with systems. Excel, CRM platforms and reporting are tools you know how to use, not things you hand to somebody else.
- You are also the sort of person who spots the issue before it becomes a problem. If a contract is sitting somewhere too long, you want to know why. If the CRM says one thing and the settlement forecast says another, you dig into it.
- There will be plenty happening at once, so being organised and calm under pressure matters
