About GetAgent

GetAgent is the first port of call when looking to sell your home. Where buyers go to Rightmove, sellers go to GetAgent. Best known as the estate agent comparison site, we help over 20,000 homeowners each month find the best estate agent to sell their property. With a friendly team of more than 80 people based in beautiful offices between Old Street and Shoreditch High Street, we are backed by some of the industry’s leading investors including Channel 4, Seedcamp and 500 Startups. Together, we are transforming the experience of selling your home.

Role Overview

We are looking for a proven outbound sales leader to build and scale our Business Development function. Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a high-autonomy, build-and-execute role where you will inherit a small team and be responsible for scaling it into a disciplined, high-performing outbound sales team. Your focus will be on hiring, developing and leading the team, creating a strong performance culture and ensuring consistent sales output. This is a frontline sales leadership role focused on execution and team performance, rather than strategy or account management.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building the team – hiring and onboarding additional salespeople as we grow the function
• Running the sales floor – driving daily activity levels and maintaining strong performance standards
• Performance management – implementing clear KPIs and holding the team accountable to them
• Hands-on coaching – developing the team through call reviews, role-play sessions and 1:1s
• Driving results – ensuring consistent outbound activity and revenue growth across the team

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who has already built and led outbound sales teams and enjoys running a high-activity sales environment. This role will suit someone who thrives on coaching people, driving performance and improving results day-to-day. You should have:

• Experience building and managing outbound sales teams of 5+ people
• A strong background in high-volume, short sales cycle environments
• Experience running phone-heavy outbound sales teams
• A clear understanding of sales metrics, activity management and conversion rates
• A track record of hiring, developing and performance-managing salespeople
• The ability to operate with high autonomy, reporting directly to senior leadership

This role is best suited to someone who enjoys leading from the front and running a sales team day-to-day. This role may not be the right fit if:

• You are looking for your first sales leadership role
• Your background is primarily enterprise or long-cycle sales
• You prefer highly structured corporate environments with significant management oversight

We are looking for someone who is self-managing, structured and comfortable owning outcomes.

What’s In It For You

• Generous salary and OTE
• Private Medical Cover
• L&D Allowance
• Wellbeing Allowance
• Perks at Work
• Hybrid Working
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

You’ll also be joining GetAgent at an exciting stage in our growth as we continue to expand both our platform and the products we offer to estate agents.

Workplace & Culture

We’re proud to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where people bring their whole selves to work. We champion curiosity and welcome ideas from every corner of the business, creating a culture where learning never stops. Whether you’re passionate about sports, love to bake, enjoy karaoke, or prefer winding down the week with a drink at the local, there are plenty of ways to get involved and connect with colleagues. In a recent survey 95% of employees said they would recommend GetAgent as a place to work.
