Job Description

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.

  • Strong commercial judgement - confident with targets, forecasting and CRM discipline.

  • Data literate - you use metrics to diagnose issues and improve performance.

  • 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.

  • Experience in lettings/property is a plus, but a background in software sales and operator experience with a willingness to learn the industry works too.

Why join flatfair?
  • Shape our partner strategy and have a direct, visible impact on company growth.

  • Competitive senior package (base + OTE) + equity - join at a stage where you'll influence the roadmap.

  • Remote first with regular cross functional collaboration and a supportive leadership team.

  • We're mission driven - building tech that makes renting fairer and simpler.
