Senior Sales Consultant

Do you have proven Sales experience within the housing sector or estate agency?

We're looking for a Senior Sales Consultant to join us, based from Bristol, covering the West region.

Sovereign's Sales team is entering a new era, with an ambitious Investment Strategy that targets more homes, and better places, than ever before.

We'll be delivering some of the best places to live, from large-scale town-centre regeneration to rural exception sites, from joint-ventures with the big housebuilders to securing land and building our own self-designed house-types that redefine sector standards for space, light and adaptability.

You'll be responsible for helping customers start their next chapter, from shared owners looking for a way into a home-ownership market, to those customers investing in an open-market property that means their money achieves a greater social purpose. It's profit, but it's profit with a purpose.

If you're looking to apply your drive for better into a career that really makes a difference, we can offer you that chance, and give you a sector-leading package in return.
