Head of Sales

We are looking to welcome a new Head of Sales to lead our Queensland Sales team.

This person is a passionate sales leader with experience in managing multi-site or regional teams. They may have gone through the new home build process themselves and understand the importance of a simple, exciting and customer-focused journey. They are energised at the thought of impacting meaningful and long-lasting relationships with our customers.

About us:

Plantation Homes forms part of the Henley Properties Group, established in 1989 with a vision to make home ownership more affordable for Australian families. Today, we’re consistently ranked as one of the largest home builders in Australia – building over 2000 homes each year. With a focus on transparency, affordability, and customer care, we’re a volume builder dedicated to creating better, happier and healthier environments for families across Queensland.

We’ve got a goal to deliver 10,000+ homes between 2025 - 2030 by being the most trusted builder of homes and communities in Australia, and our Head of Sales will have a key role in achieving it.

The position:

As Head of Sales, you will lead a growing, high-performing team, drive sales strategy, team development and customer experience. From the first step into our display homes to handing over to our dedicated customer service team, you’ll ensure a seamless, customer focused journey.

This is an opportunity to influence business growth, identify market opportunities, and ensure we remain the builder of choice for Queensland families.

Your role will focus on:

• Developing and executing sales strategies aligned with business goals
• Driving business growth through ensuring the right product is delivered to market in collaboration with the national design and marketing teams
• Managing overheads and operating costs within the division
• Using data to inform decision making and strategy
• Monitoring and analysing market trends, pricing strategies and competitor activity
• Driving a high-performance culture within the Sales team to achieve and exceed targets
• Collaborating with our operational and functional teams to evolve the customer experience
• Building and maintaining industry networks and strategic partner relationships

About You:

You’re an experienced leader with demonstrated experience managing multi-site or regional teams. You may come with industry experience or have had exposure to residential construction through your own building experience, whilst desired, this is not a pre-requisite for success in this role. 

You have a customer-first mindset, backed by strong commercial acumen. You excel in strategy execution, business growth and are well-versed using data to drive your decision making.

You possess strong people leadership skills, with an ability to motivate and inspire a high-performance team. Your own appetite for personal growth and development is reflected in the way you coach and lead your team. 

Join Our Team:

• Flat organisational structure and highly collaborative team; report to the General Manager and interact regularly with the Directors, CEO and leadership team
• Backed by our $8 billion dollar parent company, Sumitomo Forestry Group
• Opportunity to give back through involvement in local and national philanthropic projects, giving over $35m to-date to children’s charities
• Significant financial support for ongoing professional development
• Exclusive discounts when you build or buy a Henley home
• Savings on everyday purchases through 400+ retail and supplier partnerships

We celebrate all cultures and know that the more diverse and inclusive we are, the better we can serve our community. We are proud to be part of the Sumitomo Forestry Group and our shared philosophy of fairness and integrity.
