• Building long-term client relationships through networking, meetings, events, and direct outreach
• Work closely with internal teams to ensure seamless mobilisation of new contracts

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–3 years’ experience in business development across Soft FM services (Commercial Cleaning, Ground maintenance, Pest Control) or experience selling security services (i.e. CCTV, surveillance)
• Strong track record of winning and delivering contracts in the £500k+ range
• Professional, consultative sales approach – relationship-driven, not transactional
• Confident communicator who can influence decision makers across multiple sectors
• Honest, proactive, and commercially astute, with the drive to deliver results
• Full UK driving licence (company car provided)
