Vacancy No 5595

Vacancy Title Business Development Manager

Location London, with West Midlands and wider regional remit

Project & Building Consultancy

Salary: Good base + uncapped, revenue-linked commission
Reports to: Managing Director
Contract: Permanent, full-time

The Opportunity

Build the business. Own the relationships. Drive the revenue.

This is a rare opportunity to become the first dedicated Business Development Manager within an established, highly regarded property consultancy with an impressive blue-chip client base.

This is not an account-management role. It is a genuine new-business hunting position for someone with a strong property network, commercial instinct and the ambition to build something significant.

You’ll have the freedom to leverage your existing black book from day one, while developing new relationships, opening new markets and creating a sustainable pipeline across London, the West Midlands and wider regional markets.

With uncapped, revenue-linked commission, your success will be directly reflected in your earning potential.

About the Business

Our client is an established firm of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers, Cost Consultants and Development Monitors, advising investors, developers, funds, occupiers, banks, landed estates and property managers across the UK.

The business has built a strong reputation and blue-chip client base across commercial, residential, hotel, industrial & logistics and retail markets.

Following sustained growth, the firm is now investing in a dedicated new-business function for the first time.

This is your opportunity to build the commercial engine rather than inherit one.

The Role

As the first Business Development Manager, you will take ownership of new-business origination across:

Building Consultancy
Project Management
Cost Consultancy / QS
Development Monitoring

Your focus will be simple: identify opportunities, build senior relationships, secure meetings, win instructions and grow revenue.

You’ll combine your existing network with targeted prospecting, market intelligence, LinkedIn, CoStar, events and referrals to create a high-quality pipeline.

There is also significant opportunity to cross-sell additional services into existing relationships, maximising the value of every client connection and instruction.

What You’ll Do

Leverage and develop your existing network of property and built-environment contacts.
Identify and win new clients across investors, developers, funds, occupiers, landed estates, property companies and agents.
Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers including Development Directors, Asset Managers, Fund Managers, Estates Directors and Heads of Property.
Generate and qualify new opportunities through networking, referrals, events and targeted outbound activity.
Use CoStar, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and CRM data to identify and prioritise high-value prospects.
Secure and lead first meetings, pitches and tenders alongside the firm’s technical Directors.
Identify cross-selling opportunities across the firm’s service lines.
Develop referral relationships with agents, contractors, architects, lawyers and other professional advisers.
Help identify and open new regions and growth sectors, including private healthcare and selected public-sector, heritage and cultural opportunities.
Own your pipeline, forecast accurately and report directly to the Managing Director on commercial performance.

Your Market

The role has a strong focus on London and the West Midlands, with scope to develop opportunities nationally and open new markets.

Key sectors include:

Commercial offices
High-value private residential
Hotels
Industrial & logistics
Multi-unit residential
Retail
Student accommodation
Private healthcare
Selected public-sector, heritage and cultural opportunities

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a proven hunter, not a traditional account manager.

You’ll ideally bring:

A strong, demonstrable black book of relevant property or professional-services relationships.
A track record of winning new business and generating fee income.
Experience selling property, construction, surveying or other professional services.
Established relationships with senior property and real estate decision-makers.
The confidence and credibility to operate at Director and Head-of level.
A consultative, relationship-led approach to business development.
Commercial drive, resilience and the ability to turn relationships into revenue.
Strong organisation and pipeline management skills.
The confidence to combine personal networking with data-led prospecting.
The ambition to open doors the business has not previously been able to open.

Why This Role?

First hire. Established platform. Uncapped earnings. Real autonomy.

You’ll have an established brand, strong technical expertise, blue-chip clients, marketing and data support behind you — but the freedom to decide where the next growth comes from.

If you have the network, the ambition and the commercial ability to make things happen, this is an opportunity to make the role your own and have a genuine impact on the future growth of the business.

We are partnered with a globally respected manufacturer of premium and innovative floor covering solutions, recognised for combining distinctive design, sustainability and technical performance.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required

Candidates should be based within a reasonable commute of Central London and comfortable operating in a field-based role, supported by access to the Clerkenwell showroom for meetings, presentations and client engagement.

Essential experience and attributes include:

Proven track record in specification or commercial sales within flooring, interior finishes, furniture, textiles, wallcoverings, acoustics or other closely related design led interior product sectors
An existing and relevant network across architects, interior designers, Design and Build firms, Fit-Out contractors and other key commercial project stakeholders within London
