About August

August is a full-service real estate development and lifestyle company, based in London. We create and manage beautifully designed holiday home collections across Europe – each one rooted in the character of its place, shaped by Studio RIO London, and looked after with the kind of care that makes arriving feel effortless. Our homeowners are globally mobile families and individuals who want the beauty of a second home without the weight of managing one.

We give them that through considered design, seamless service, and a community built around how they want to live.

The role

This is a pure relationship role. There is no team to manage, no direct reports, no internal politics to navigate. There is only the work: building deep, trusted relationships with the kind of people who buy August homes, and guiding them toward a decision that is right for them.

Average share values now sit at €720k and are rising toward €1.5m. The homeowners at this level are not responding to pitches. They are responding to people – to presence, warmth, and the kind of fluency in how they live that takes years to develop. That is what we are looking for.

You will work closely with the General Manager, operating within a clear market strategy and a well‑resourced commercial team. Your singular focus is conversion – taking warm, well‑qualified introductions and turning them, over months, into committed August homeowners.

Responsibilities
Relationships and Conversion

Own the full sales journey from warm introduction to signed share agreement – a process that typically spans months and is driven by trust, not pressure.

Host immersive property previews at August homes, designing experiences that bring the seamless ownership proposition to life.

Conduct private conversations, intimate dinners, and curated site visits that give prospective homeowners the space and information to make a considered decision.

Manage a personal pipeline of qualified prospects with discipline and care, ensuring every relationship is nurtured through to a natural conclusion.

Target 40 conversions per year, achieved through depth of relationship rather than volume of activity.

Strategy and Process

Work within the framework set by the General Manager, contributing market intelligence and prospect insight that sharpens the team’s approach.

Operate with rigour in Hub Spot – maintaining pipeline accuracy, logging all touchpoints, and using automation and AI tools to add personal texture to long‑cycle nurture sequences.

Champion process integrity: follow the agreed ways of working, uphold CRM standards, and contribute to a forecasting culture the business can rely on.

Design and refine your own outreach and nurture approaches within the agreed playbook – thoughtful, personalised, and always on brand.

Network and Partnerships

Develop and sustain referral relationships with wealth managers, private bankers, family offices, and lifestyle concierges who work with the people August is for.

Represent August at carefully selected events – art fairs, private school gatherings, sporting occasions, cultural moments – where introductions happen naturally.

Contribute to the development of partnership channels in close collaboration with the General Manager, identifying new networks and institutions where August should be present.

Manage relationships with existing homeowners as a source of referral, maintaining the warmth and care that defines the August experience long after a share is signed.

Communication and Collaboration

Communicate with prospective homeowners at the highest level – written and verbal – with the poise and clarity that complex, high‑value decisions require.

Work in close alignment with the General Manager, the marketing team, and London HQ – contributing to content briefs, campaign intelligence, and the broader commercial team’s learning.

Report pipeline progress, prospect feedback, and market observations with honesty and precision – the kind of transparency that makes planning possible.
