Job description

Business Development Support / BD Operations Coordinator

London | Commercial Interiors / Workplace

We’re working with a leading business within the commercial interiors and workplace sector that is looking to appoint a Business Development Support professional to sit at the heart of its commercial team.

This isn’t a traditional admin role.

You’ll work closely with senior Business Development leaders and act as the central point of coordination across Sales, Partnerships, Marketing and Events, helping ensure that key client targets, meetings, actions and commercial priorities keep moving.

It would suit someone who is highly organised, commercially aware and confident enough to chase senior stakeholders, challenge missed actions and bring structure to a fast-moving environment.

The role will include:

• Coordinating activity around priority clients and business development targets
• Tracking actions, owners and deadlines and ensuring agreed activity gets completed
• Preparing agendas, actions and follow-ups for regular BD meetings
• Working across Sales, Marketing, Partnerships and Events to keep everyone aligned
• Producing clear weekly updates on progress, outstanding actions and key blockers
• Coordinating meetings, client follow-ups and events linked to priority accounts
• Supporting senior BD leaders with diaries and commercially important meetings
• Improving processes, templates and ways of working across the wider BD function
• Creating greater accountability and visibility around business development activity

A major part of the role is making sure that good commercial ideas actually turn into action, rather than disappearing into meeting notes or getting lost between different teams. The successful person will be expected to establish a consistent operating rhythm and improve accountability across the function.

What we’re looking for. You could currently be working within BD support, sales coordination, business operations, executive support or a similar commercially focused role.

You’ll need to be comfortable operating around senior people and managing a large number of moving parts at once.

Strong candidates are likely to have:

• Excellent organisation and prioritisation skills
• Experience supporting senior commercial teams
• Confidence chasing actions and holding people accountable
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Excellent attention to detail
• Experience coordinating across several teams or departments
• A proactive, calm and solutions-focused approach
• Good commercial awareness and an understanding of how BD activity translates into growth
• Experience improving processes and ways of working

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who enjoys being at the centre of a commercial team, knows how to get things done and wants a role with considerably more influence than traditional administrative support.
