Sales And Partnerships Lead

Sales And Partnerships Lead

At Houst we make hosting hassle-free. From Edinburgh to Auckland, we're transforming the short-term rental world with smart tech, great partnerships, and a relentless focus on keeping hosts happy. Since 2015, we've helped thousands of property owners unlock extra income — and we're only just getting started.

We're now looking for a Sales And Partnerships Lead to bring together two key teams: Host Sales and Partnership Sales. Until now, these have been separate functions, but we're uniting them under one energetic leader who can drive both sides forward. This is a hands-on role for someone who can close deals themselves while also coaching a team, keeping the pipeline flowing, and building meaningful partnerships.

What you'll be doing

• Lead, coach, and develop our Host Sales and Partnership Sales teams.
• Own personal and team sales targets, hitting numbers across both functions.
• Drive acquisition of new hosts and franchise-style partners in the UK and internationally.
• Build and execute inbound and outbound sales strategies to scale volume.
• Grow and manage global partnership pipelines and lead generation.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and ongoing training for your team.
• Keep Close (our CRM) accurate and up to date.
• Analyse performance data to spot what's working and where to adjust.
• Report key KPIs to the Global Head of Sales and the SLT.
• Represent Houst at industry events, exhibitions, and networking opportunities.
