I'm working with a PE-backed facilities management business with aggressive growth plans as they look to appoint a high-calibre Sales Director to play a pivotal role in their next stage of expansion. This is not a maintenance hire. This is a growth appointment for a proven deal-maker.
We're looking for one of the best in the market, someone who knows how to win, shape, and close complex, high-value TFM and IFM contracts and who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment. Reporting directly into the Chief Growth Officer, this role will sit at the heart of the organisation's growth agenda. You will be responsible for building a strong, high-performing sales function, driving major new business wins, and helping to shape the commercial strategy of a scaling PE-backed platform.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading and delivering aggressive new business growth across TFM & IFM
- Building, developing, and leading a top-tier business development team
- Winning and closing complex, multi-site, high-value FM contracts
- Operating confidently at C-suite and board level
- Working closely with operational and technical leaders to build winning solutions
- Playing a key role in shaping the wider growth strategy of the business
What we're looking for:
- A proven track record of winning significant TFM/IFM contracts
- Experience operating in high-growth, competitive environments
- A strong network and presence within the FM market
- Demonstrable success leading and scaling commercial teams
- The drive, hunger, and resilience to perform in a PE-backed, target-driven environment
- A genuine "builder" mindset — not just a manager of pipeline, but a driver of growth
This is a rare opportunity to join a business with real momentum, significant investment backing, and a clear ambition to scale rapidly. You will report directly to the Chief Growth Officer and play a central role in building something meaningful — commercially, strategically, and personally. If you are currently operating at Sales Director / Business Development Director level within FM and are looking for a platform where you can truly accelerate your impact and career progression, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
