At Houst 🏠, we make hosting hassle-free. From Edinburgh to Auckland, we’re transforming the short-term rental space through smart tech, strong partnerships, and a relentless focus on host happiness. Since 2015, we’ve helped thousands of property owners unlock new income, and we’re only getting started.
We’re now looking for a Sales Manager to lead both our Host Sales and Partnership Sales teams. These were previously separate teams, but we’re bringing them together under one clear, energetic leader. This is a hands-on role for someone who can close deals themselves, manage a team across two functions, and keep the pipeline moving on both fronts.
What you'll be doing:
- Manage and coach two small teams: Host Sales and Partnership Sales
- Own and deliver personal and team sales targets across both functions
- Drive acquisition of new hosts and new franchise-style partners
- Develop and implement inbound and outbound sales strategies to increase volume
- Build and manage partnerships and lead gen pipelines in the UK and globally
- Support hiring, onboarding, training, and continuous team development
- Analyse performance data and sales funnel to spot what’s working (and what’s not)
- Ensure Close (CRM) is accurate and up to date at all times
- Report key KPIs to the Global Head of Sales and the SLT
- Represent Houst at industry events, exhibitions, and networking opportunities
Requirements:
- Experience managing outbound sales and (ideally) partnership pipelines
- Proven track record of meeting and exceeding targets as an individual and as a manager
- Confident communicator who can rally a team and hold people to a high standard
- Solid grasp of the full sales cycle and what it takes to keep momentum
- Familiarity with Close or similar CRMs
- Well-organised, adaptable, and proactive, you don’t wait to be told
- Happy to work from our London office every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Benefits:
- Uncapped bonus
- A MacBook for business use
- 25 days’ holiday (plus public holidays), and your birthday off
- Enhanced parental leave, regardless of gender
- Regular team socials and a genuinely solid company culture
- The chance to grow quickly as part of a lean, high-performing team
