Director of Sales

Job Summary Do you enjoy running high-powered sales organizations? Do you enjoy the challenge of maximizing performance of your team and unlocking greatness? Do you enjoy being strategic? Are you interested in being a part of launching a new Homebuilding operation? If so, then this might be the right opportunity for you! AmeriCraft Homes is launching a new Homebuilding company focused on luxury residential communities, built around shared experiential lifestyles. With active locations in Myrtle Beach and Mooresville, NC, and future communities throughout the southeastern United States, this is an opportunity to get in on the "ground floor" and grow!

The Director of Sales sets the strategic vision and standards for a high-touch, consultative sales approach. This role is responsible for building and mentoring a team of sales consultants who sell on product distinction, design excellence, and lifestyle value rather than price incentives or payment-focused tactics. The Director partners closely with design, architecture, and marketing teams to ensure the sales experience reflects the brand's luxury positioning at every touchpoint.
