NVR - Career Opportunities


	EMPLOYEE TESTIMONIALS Sharon Division Manager/Vice President Towson University Ryan Homes Sharon has been with Ryan Homes over 18 years and has held various positions including Sales and Marketing Representative, Sales Trainer, Sales Manager and General Manager. She is now the Division Manager of one of our newest divisions in the Baltimore, MD area. Take us through a typical day on the job. What are the highlights. My job is multifaceted. I could be out in the field touring new communities and the status of infrastructure, meeting with our Project Managers and reviewing homes under construction, reviewing the stages of construction and accessing upcoming settlements. Often times I am in meeting with developers and engineers understanding the approval process and timeframes for the marketing of new communities. We focus a lot of attention on our sales and marketing side of the business. I could be attending a sales meeting and establishing the needs for new lot releases, marketing incentives, pricing. Visiting our existing communities would be an opportunity to talk with our sales staff. Topics may include discussing prospects, projected sales, inventory needs, model merchandising, or community development standards. Much of our time is spent working through situations and problem solving to satisfy our customers needs. What person at NVR inspires you? So many people have been an inspiration to me over the last 18 years. What has been most valuable to me and my career with Ryan Homes is the support and encouragement my managers have given me.
