Where the team fits in

CampaignAgent is REA’s market-leading campaign funding and pay-later solution for real estate agents and vendors. As the business matures and regulatory expectations increase, CampaignAgent is transitioning from a high-growth product into a scaled, durable platform. The Head of Sales plays a critical role in this next phase.

This role owns agent-led revenue growth, translating CampaignAgent’s value proposition into disciplined, predictable sales execution across the agent channel. It is responsible for defining and executing the agent distribution strategy, building a high-performance sales cadence, and ensuring signed agencies convert into active, value-generating customers.

The role works closely with Marketing, Product, Customer, ResCom and the broader REA ecosystem to ensure CampaignAgent’s sales motion is aligned, data-driven and scalable.

Sales execution & cadence

• Establish clear activity standards, pipeline hygiene and conversion metrics
• Drive consistent execution across the sales team

Conversion & activation ownership

• Own conversion from signed → active agencies

• Ensure sales success is measured by activation and usage, not just contracts signed

Team leadership

• Set clear expectations, targets and accountability
• Create a performance culture grounded in trust, transparency and results

Marketing partnership & enablement

• Partner tightly with Marketing on agent acquisition and enablement
• Provide feedback on lead quality, messaging and campaign effectiveness
• Ensure strong hand-offs and shared accountability across the funnel

Product feedback & market intelligence

• Feed frontline insights into Product to prioritise features that unblock sales
• Surface agent objections, friction points and unmet needs
• Track competitor moves through the agent network and provide structured insights back to the business

Ecosystem leverage (ResCom & REA)

• Work closely with Residential Communities (ResCom) and other REA teams
• Leverage existing agency relationships to unlock warm leads and expansion opportunities
• Ensure CampaignAgent is positioned coherently within the broader REA ecosystem

Forecasting & performance management

• Deliver credible, data-driven forecasts
• Track leading indicators and pipeline health
• Use insights to course-correct early and improve predictability

Who We’re Looking For

• 8–12+ years’ experience in sales or revenue leadership roles
• Proven experience selling to real estate agencies or similar B2B customer segments
• Experience building disciplined sales motions in scaling or platform businesses
• Demonstrated success leading small, high-performance sales teams
• Experience operating in regulated or high-trust environments (fintech, proptech, financial services desirable)
