Senior Portfolio Sales Executive

Home Based

Up to £48,000 per annum

Fixed Term Contract until 31/05/2026

Here at Stonewater, we’re now seeking a Senior Portfolio Sales Executive - someone to lead and support the team to deliver a programme of individual property disposals.

Providing line management and technical support for two Portfolio Sales Executives, you’ll work primarily with the Customer Experience Team to identify properties that might be suitable for disposal when they next become void, retaining clear records of decisions made.

You’ll investigate each arising void identified for disposal to ensure it is not restricted to social housing use and to ensure that disposing of the property reaches a predetermined surplus amount. You’ll instruct and liaise with externally appointed solicitors and Estate Agents to ensure legal requirements are met throughout the conveyance process and the properties are marketed to achieve best value whilst also adhering to Stonewater’s insurance and compliance requirements.

Gathering stock, performance and cost data to aid the Portfolio Options Analysts and inform property stock disposals and transfers, you’ll support strategic objectives for the wider team and organisation. You’ll aid with the preparation of monthly performance reports on the progress of all sales, disposals and option appraisals for Board meetings and monitor and report on the team budget to the Head of Portfolio Options to ensure best use of the Association’s resources and ensuring Value for Money is achieved. You’ll ensure all systems are updated with sale progression and completion information and all documentation is issued when sales complete, ensuring all teams are informed and can manage the post-sale process.

You’ll liaise with colleagues across other Directorates to raise awareness of the Portfolio Options Team to ensure Stonewater operate efficiently and reduce duplication of workloads.

The ideal candidate will:

• Have experience of managing private treaty sales in the housing sector.
• Have line management experience.
• Have a good understanding of the planning system and alternative uses of land.
• Have demonstrable knowledge of the legal and financial aspects of the sales and marketing of residential properties, and knowledge of the issues affecting social housing.
• Have knowledge of social housing ‘use restrictions’ within legal and planning documents and knowledge of contract law and property transactions.
• Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with good verbal and numerical reasoning skills.
• Have high level analytical skills allied to good judgement and decision making.
• Be financially literate with good IT skills, skilled in report writing and presenting verbally and in writing to a range of audiences.
• Have excellent organisational skills, able to manage a workload, prioritise and meet personal and team targets and deadlines.
• Have good sales management and negotiating skills with the ability to prioritise workload with conflicting deadlines.
• Be confident, independent and able to work at pace

Appointment to this role will be subject to satisfactory references and possession of a valid Right to Work document.
