Sales Manager (No.2 to Sales Director).
North Yorkshire.
Cognisant is working on a Sales Manager appointment with a regional housebuilder to strengthen their sales function as the business continues to grow.
The position is best suited to an experienced Sales Manager looking for more exposure, or a Head of Sales / Sales Director who wants to step into a more measured role while still operating at a strategic level.
The Role
You will retain oversight of developments and sales teams with clear involvement in how the function is shaped and run.
Alongside day-to-day performance, you will contribute to:
- Pricing and release strategy
- Wider sales approach and market positioning
- Land and viability discussions
- Coaching and mentoring across the team
The Opportunity
Working closely with the Sales Director, you will play a key role in shaping sales performance across the business while supporting the wider strategic direction.
You will have the platform to:
- Operate as a genuine No.2 within the sales function
- Influence pricing, strategy and decision-making
- Support and develop a growing sales team
- Contribute to commercially important conversations beyond the sites
- Stay close to delivery while adding value at a higher level
About You
This role is likely to suit:
- An experienced Sales Manager looking to broaden their remit
- A senior sales professional seeking more involvement in strategy
- A Sales Director / Head of Sales looking for a step back without losing influence
You will offer:
- Strong experience within housebuilding sales
- A clear understanding of the full sales lifecycle
- Commercial awareness and market understanding
- Confidence operating around senior stakeholders
- A natural ability to coach, support and influence others
Why consider it
You will be joining a well-run regional developer with a strong pipeline and a stable platform for growth.
The role offers a balance between responsibility and autonomy, with the ability to influence outcomes without carrying the full weight of a director-level position.
For the right individual, it’s a chance to stay close to the detail while still contributing at a strategic level.
If of interest, or for a confidential discussion, feel free to get in touch.
