Are you an experienced Business Development Manager with a track record of securing new business in the facilities or property services sector? This is your opportunity to join a high-performing team in a profitable, fast-growing business delivering critical outdoor facilities management services nationwide.

The Role
As a Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for identifying and winning new client contracts across multiple sectors — including facilities and property management, haulage, healthcare, and leisure.

This is a new business-focused sales role. You’ll be responsible for sourcing leads, managing the sales process end-to-end, and converting opportunities into long-term commercial partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify, approach, and convert new business opportunities

  • Develop and execute sales plans to exceed revenue targets

  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders across public and private sectors, especially in facilities management

  • Prepare compelling proposals, present solutions, and negotiate contracts

  • Collaborate internally to ensure smooth onboarding and mobilisation

  • Stay informed on market trends, pricing, and competitor activity within the facilities and sales sectors

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven success in B2B sales – ideally within FM, soft services, civils, or outdoor maintenance

  • Experience selling to property managers, FM providers, NHS, or transport/logistics clients

  • Confident in identifying and managing long sales cycles with commercial rigor

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills essential to business development success in facilities-related industries

Why Join?
You’ll be part of a stable and commercially smart business with a strong reputation and clear growth plans. With an 8-figure EBITDA and a high-tenure team, the environment balances ambition with realism — ideal for sales and business development professionals who want to be backed but not micromanaged.

Company Benefits

  • £4,200 car allowance + 45p mileage (worth ~£3K+ extra with high travel)

  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays

  • GP24, EAP, and life assurance

  • Employee discounts and cashback benefits

  • Hybrid working flexibility
