Area Director - Sales

Area Director – Sales

We are seeking an enthusiastic, proactive, and driven Area Director to lead our Surrey sales offices.

While previous multi-branch or area management experience is ideal, we also welcome applications from exceptional branch managers who feel ready to step into their next leadership challenge.

John D Wood & Co. is one of England’s longest-established estate agencies, yet our approach is modern, ambitious, and agile. Joining our leadership team means being a quick thinker, hardworking, people-focused, and committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience. We believe every client should be a client for life, and we seek leaders who share that philosophy.

As an Area Director, you will lead, inspire and support our branches and colleagues across the region. You will work closely with the Lettings Area Director to cultivate a high-performing, collaborative, and positive culture. You will be accountable for delivering strong financial and performance results through effective leadership, engagement, and operational excellence.

• Acting as a brand ambassador, leading by example, and coaching your teams to be among the best in the industry.
• Championing the company vision and ensuring your teams understand and work towards our strategic goals.
• Coaching, developing, and managing all employees to maximise performance at every level.
• Overseeing all branch operations in your area, shaping clear career paths, and managing the P&L to drive financial success.
• Maximising employee engagement through proactive recruitment, reducing attrition, and supporting long-term retention.
