• Respond to RFPs and RFQs with high‑quality proposals.
• Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting in Salesforce.

You are an ambitious commercial professional with a proven track record in hunting and winning new business in SaaS or enterprise software. You combine a sharp understanding of the real estate sector with strong consultative selling skills at C‑level.

Our ideal candidate has

• 5–7 years’ experience in new business development (SaaS, enterprise software, or consultancy).
• Proven experience selling to commercial real estate stakeholders (investors, developers, corporates).
• Proven ability to build and execute a market entry sales strategy.
• Strong communication and networking skills; able to influence and build trust at C‑level.
• Living and working in or around London, being able to travel throughout London for customer on‑sites.
