Accelerate Nature Recovery with Ecosulis. Are you a commercial and ecological professional eager to make a tangible impact on ecosystem recovery? If so, we invite you to join Ecosulis as our new BNG Sales & Innovation Lead.
At Ecosulis, we are pioneers in rewilding science and policy with over 30 years of experience. Our mission is to create a world where rewilding not only enhances biodiversity but also delivers commercial and financial benefits, allowing nature and business to thrive together.
As our BNG Sales & Innovation Lead at Ecosulis, you will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between high-value nature recovery and cutting-edge ecological technology. Reporting directly to the Head of Business Growth, you will hold dual responsibility: driving the commercial success of our Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) pipeline and managing our Innovation Team. You will ensure that our technological tools — such as our client portal and GIS mapping systems — are not just "features," but powerful sales drivers that provide a distinct competitive advantage in the market.
- Commercial & Sales Leadership
- Corporate BNG Sales: Lead the sale of high-integrity BNG units to corporate developers and infrastructure providers.
- Landowner 'Sell-In': Working closely with the Project Developer team, secure the supply side by pitching and closing strategic landowner packages, ensuring landowners are committed to the long-term requirements of nature recovery and BNG.
- Strategic Matchmaking: Collaborate with CreditNature and the Project Developer team to find bespoke buyers for flagship sites, blending BNG with wider natural capital outcomes.
- Innovation & Team Management
- You will act as the line manager for our standalone Innovation Team (2 FTE), providing the bridge between technical development and commercial application.
- Market-Led Development: Feed real-time market trends and client feedback into the Innovation Team to ensure our products — such as the Client Portal and BNG GIS Mapping Tool — meet the exact needs of buyers and landowners.
- AI & Technical Advancement: Ensure the team's output remains aligned with the Innovation Strategy set by the Head of Business Growth, helping prioritise high-impact services and tools that set us apart from competitors.
Experience: 5+ years in a commercial role within Natural Capital, Land Agency, or Ecology.
Leadership: Proven experience in line management, with the ability to guide technical staff (developers/GIS specialists) toward commercial goals.
Technical Literacy: An understanding of how digital tools (GIS, Portals, Data) create value for BNG clients.
Deal-Making: Expert at negotiating complex, long-term legal and financial agreements (S106, Conservation Covenants).
Degree: Degree in Environmental Science, Land Management, or Business.
Salary: £45-50,000 based on experience — including performance-based bonus (landowner package bonus and unit sale commission).
Location: Remote, with regular weekly travel to client meetings, prospecting, site visits and events.
A full UK driving licence and use of own vehicle will be required for this position.
Flexible Working: Remote working options and compressed hours to support work-life balance.
Benefits:
- ~ 3% company pension contribution
