Position: Business Development Manager

Location: Milton Keynes area, with client travel

Salary: £50,000 to £60,000 basic plus car allowance and uncapped commission

Six figures in commission alone. It has been done here, and it is still being done. A fast-growing building envelope and construction group is looking for a Business Development Manager who wants their earnings to reflect what they win.

The group is made up of three businesses. The roofing company turns over around £18 million, the general construction company around £9 to £10 million, and the facades business, launched just 18 months ago, is already delivering cladding, metal roofing and fire remediation work with a realistic path to £30 to £40 million. You will sell across all three, to the same client base that buys roofing, facades and wider construction work, which means more doors open from every relationship you build.

The existing commercial lead comes from a roofing background, so the group is particularly keen to hear from candidates with facade or cladding sales experience to round out the team. Commission is paid separately within each company and linked to net profit, with £5,000 to £10,000 achievable on a single job.

Business Development Manager Salary & Benefits

• Basic salary: £50,000 to £60,000 (DOE, with some flexibility for the right person)
• Car allowance
• Realitic OTE between £100k - £120k
• 21 days annual leave, rising by one day a year after three years' service, up to five extra days
• Pension scheme
• Flexibility around outside commitments
• Company days out, Friday pub trips and company trips

Business Development Manager Job Overview

• Win new business across the group's roofing, facades and general construction companies
• Bring an existing network of clients and actively grow it through prospecting, cold approaches and door knocking
• Build relationships with main contractors, developers, housing providers, consultants and other key decision makers
• Identify cross-selling opportunities so that clients buying one service are introduced to the others
• Lead client meetings and hold credible technical conversations about cladding, facade and roofing systems
• Work alongside the estimating and commercial teams to convert opportunities into profitable orders
• Help establish the facades business as a major force in its market as it scales
• Track and report on pipeline, conversion and new business performance

Business Development Manager Requirements

• Proven sales or business development experience in construction, ideally within facades, cladding or the building envelope
• Roofing or wider construction sales backgrounds considered where you have sold to the right type of client
• Solid technical understanding of facade and cladding systems, able to stand up to detailed scrutiny from clients and directors
• An established client network you can bring with you, alongside the drive to find new business
• Money motivated, with the resilience to handle rejection and keep pushing
• Confident, credible communicator at all levels
• Looking for a long-term move where you can build something and earn serious money

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

• Six-figure commission earnings have been achieved and are still being achieved within the group
• Three companies to sell into, giving you more to offer every client and more ways to earn
• Get in early on a facades business with ambitions to grow from a couple of million to £30 to £40 million
• Commission linked to net profit, so the better the jobs you win, the more you take home
• A growing, sociable group with a strong commercial model already proven to work
