New Business Sales Manager
Our client is a profitable, owner-managed contractor delivering interior fit-out and modular new-build projects, principally for the private education sector. Under a new CEO, the business is building the leadership team and operating disciplines required to scale materially over the next five years.
A dedicated business development unit is central to that plan: the business has historically relied on a small number of large, relationship-led opportunities and needs a repeatable, forecastable flow of new ones.
The New Business Sales Manager opens the doors the business is not currently through, and shapes what is behind them into opportunities the sales team can convert.
This is a senior, client-facing role. It means getting in front of bursars, estates directors, heads and group-level decision makers at schools and building credibility in the room and creating opportunities where none existed.
You will lead 2 operatives generating and setting appointments, alongside personally opening and shaping the larger and more complex opportunities.
The New Business Sales Manager creates and qualifies, the sales team then converts.
PLEASE NOTE- This is a National Role, with the majority of your time spent across London and the Home Counties.
Responsibilities:
- Target a list of schools, MATs, independent groups and PE-backed operators across the UK
- Conduct first meeti
