This is not just a job. It's a market-defining opportunity.
Savills is one of the most respected real estate brands in the world. With nearly 170 years of history, 40,000+ professionals and presence in over 70 countries, we combine global scale, credibility and stability with a clear focus on performance.
Now, we are doing something bigger.
We are building a high-impact residential sales operation in Lisbon, with ambition, speed and a clear objective: to occupy a space in the premium residential market that is still under-explored — and to do it with the strength of a global structure behind us.
This is a growth project, not a replacement role.
A chance to build, scale and lead something meaningful from the ground up, supported by one of the strongest real estate platforms in the world.
The Challenge
We are looking for a Residential Sales Manager to lead, grow and elevate a high-performing residential commercial team in Lisbon.
This role is for someone who wants more than managing deals.
It's for a leader who wants to shape a team, define a strategy and make a mark in the market.
What you will lead
Build and lead a top-tier residential sales team, setting standards, pace and ambition.
Own the commercial strategy for residential sales in Lisbon, aligned with market opportunities and Savills' global positioning.
Drive the full sales cycle — from lead generation and pipeline management to negotiation and closing.
Set, track and exceed KPIs, with a strong focus on performance, accountability and results.
Support and lead complex negotiations, high-value clients and strategic mandates.
Create a culture of excellence, discipline and commercial hunger.
Work closely with marketing, research and operational teams, leveraging Savills' full structure to maximize impact.
Identify new market opportunities, trends and competitive gaps — and act on them fast.
This is a role for someone who wants to win market share, not just manage what already exists.
Who will succeed in this role
Proven experience leading commercial or sales teams (residential real estate preferred).
Strong track record of achieving and exceeding ambitious targets.
Natural leader and motivator, capable of building trust, discipline and high performance.
Sharp commercial mindset, with strategic and analytical thinking.
Excellent negotiation, communication and client management skills.
Comfortable in fast-paced, performance-driven environments.
High level of professionalism, resilience and ambition.
Fluent in Portuguese and English (additional languages are a plus).
What makes this opportunity different
You are joining a growth segment, not a saturated structure.
You will have the backing of a global brand, with credibility, tools and stability.
You won't work alone — you'll have access to marketing, research, operations and international know-how.
You can help define the market, not just follow it.
Real career progression within Savills, nationally and internationally.
What we offer
A competitive, performance-driven compensation package.
Strong onboarding and direct support from experienced leadership.
Top-tier office facilities in Lisbon.
A high-performance culture, focused on results, teamwork and wellbeing.
Continuous training and real opportunities to grow with the business.
If you want to build something that matters — this is your seat at the table.
