General Sales Manager

About York

At York, we are bold, fast, and relentlessly focused on what matters:our clients.

While others get lost in bureaucracy and outdated thinking, we cut through the noise. We challenge the status quo, move with urgency, and make decisions that serve our clients, not just our bottom line. We take full ownership, work together to solve complicated problems, and execute - no excuses, no shortcuts.

This is not the place for complacency. Our team thrives in a high-performance, no-BS environment - we are a group of high performers who think critically, move fast, and follow through. The success of our business depends on the willingness of our team to ditch antiquated ways of operating and adapt new methods for achieving excellent results.

This is how we work. This is how we win.

Position Summary

The General Sales Manager is the senior leader of the Client Solutions & Success department at York Realty Inc. (the "Company"). This leadership role is responsible for the development, accountability, and elevation of a high-performance sales team built around York Realty's full-stack advantage: land, construction, and long-term asset management delivered through a single client relationship.

The General Sales Manager champions that platform, ensuring the team sells it confidently while always leading with the client's best interest. They don't set pricing; they set the conditions for performance: tracking leads, monitoring KPIs, and holding high accountability, a sense of urgency, and a commitment to serving our clients across every process and every client interaction.

We move quickly and with intention, and we hire the same way. The right candidate sees where this business is going and has the vision to build a sales culture that gets it there. Tenacious in pursuit, solution-oriented under pressure, and genuinely committed to the people and the platform; this is someone who leads by example, raises the bar around them, and brings out the best in those they lead.
