Sales Manager in Neuilly-sur-Seine

The Sales & Marketing Manager will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive sales strategies to drive revenue growth and enhance brand presence across Greystar's FR portfolio.

The Opportunity

Whether the prospect walks through the door or signs a corporate framework agreement, you own the outcome.

As Sales Manager France, you run the full commercial engine of our student and young professional living: the centralised B2C leasing team that fills our residences, and the B2B strategy that opens doors with universities, relocation agencies and corporate clients.

Reporting to the Senior Director France, you are a member of the leadership team of our Property Management business in France.

You help shape its priorities and contribute to the decisions that drive the business.

You will build and lead a high-performing sales team, act as the reference on leasing performance across the portfolio, and be accountable for occupancy, revenue and resident satisfaction.

You lead by example: in the data, in the field with partners and in the coaching of your team.

• What You'll Drive
• Build and Lead a High-Performing Sales Team
• Recruit, coach and develop a team of up to 8 people during high season — a centralised leasing team (B2C) led by a dedicated Team Lead, and a B2B sales team responsible for building and developing the commercial pipeline — creating a high-performing environment where people consistently hit targets, meet standards and grow in their craft.
• Forecast and manage resourcing levels dynamically — shift patterns, headcount, seasonal peaks — to control operating costs without compromising the customer experience.
• Build a culture of accountability, ambition and excellence where team members take pride in their results and are motivated to go further.
• Own B2C Leasing Performance Across the Portfolio leading a central leasing team
• Master the full leasing funnel — from lead generation to signed lease — ensuring a smooth, high-converting journey for every prospect.
• Oversee all leasing enquiries, maintain a ready-to-move-in apartment pipeline, recommend competitive pricing and concessions, and keep availability data accurate and current.
• Monitor website traffic, inbound enquiries and reservation activity; work closely with central teams to maximise conversion at every touchpoint.
• Actively participate in the leasing process — qualifying prospects, preparing tenancy documentation, and managing move-ins, move-outs and notices to vacate.
• 100% Ownership over the B2B Commercial Strategy and execution
• Define and execute the B2B commercial strategy across the student and young professional living portfolio.
• Working closely with the leadership team of our Property Management business in France, define and execute the B2B commercial strategy across the portfolio under management
• Build and manage strategic relationships with key demand channels — ILS platforms, OTAs and agents — identifying opportunities to optimise the sales funnel, to improve conversion and to keep costs down
• Identify, target and close partnerships with key accounts — corporates, universities, relocation agencies and other instiutional clients.
• Remain hands-on in business development — a genuine hunter-and-manager profile — while scaling demand and unlocking new revenue streams.
• Shape Strategy and Distribution Channels
• Build and manage strategic relationships with key demand channels — ILS platforms, OTAs and agents — identifying opportunities to optimise the sales funnel and improve conversion.
• Collaborate with marketing to shape local leasing strategies grounded in real market intelligence, ensuring campaigns land and deliver results.
• Stay ahead of market and competitor trends, turning insight into action to protect and grow portfolio performance.
• Design and evolve the central leasing infrastructure — call scripts, email templates, knowledge bases and CRM tools (e. g. Yardi or similar) that support a scalable operation.
• Ensure proper use of CRM and structured pipeline management across both the B2C and B2B sales motions.
• Own the Numbers
• Review and analyse commercial and operational reports to identify and resolve gaps in leasing and commercial performance.
• Champion the Resident and Client Experience
• Put residents at the centre of every decision — proactively gathering feedback, resolving issues quickly, and building a community people are genuinely glad to be part of.
• Drive resident retention through excellent service at every stage of the leasing lifecycle.
• Keep investors and B2B clients informed with regular, transparent performance reporting, responding to questions and concerns with urgency and confidence.
