Executive Assistant/Buyer Manager
Role Overview
This is a hybrid role, combining Executive Assistant and Buyer Manager.
Working directly alongside one of our top performing agents, you will split your focus between running their business behind the scenes and managing buyers in the field.
This frees the agent to concentrate on listing, negotiating and selling.
As Executive Assistant, you will manage the agent's diary, communications and campaigns, attend listing appointments and work closely with our internal marketing and administration teams to keep every campaign on track.
As Buyer Manager, you will own the buyer pipeline across every campaign.
From the first inspection through to contract, you will be a significant point of contact for buyers, building trust, understanding their needs and matching them with the right property.
The successful candidate will quickly learn how the agent operates, anticipate what is coming and take ownership before being asked.
This role suits someone who enjoys variety, thrives on organisation and pace, and wants a long term career alongside an exceptional team.
You will gain exposure to every part of the sales process, with the opportunity to grow your responsibilities over time.
