Business Development Manager

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll focus on winning enterprise customers across the construction technology market, using your sector knowledge to build strong commercial conversations and turn opportunities into revenue. You’ll own the sales process, work with senior stakeholders, and be expected to keep pace against a £1m annual target.

This will suit someone dynamic, competitive, and comfortable creating their own opportunities. If you enjoy hunting, want greater ownership of your market, and like being measured on clear commercial outcomes, there’s plenty of room to make an impact here.

• Funded CPD activities
• Hybrid working
• EV salary sacrifice scheme
• Annual leave buy and sell scheme
