Job description

Business Development Manager - Social Housing Recruitment

We're looking for a Business Development Manager to help us grow our Social Housing business.

This is a sales role.

We want someone who loves finding opportunities, opening doors and building a strong pipeline of business.

Someone who is naturally commercial, proactive and understands that good sales comes from consistent activity, strong relationships and following things through.

You don't need to come from recruitment.

You might already work in Social Housing, Construction, Property or another B2B sales environment. What matters to us is that you know how to sell.

You'll be responsible for:

• Identifying and targeting new clients and opportunities
• Building and managing a strong sales pipeline
• Getting in front of the right decision makers
• Prospecting through calls, LinkedIn, networking and face-to-face meetings
• Understanding client challenges and where we can add value
• Running sales campaigns and following up properly
• Turning conversations into genuine commercial opportunities
• Working closely with our recruitment teams to convert opportunities into business
• Keeping pace, maintaining momentum and getting things done

We're looking for someone proactive, resilient and commercially switched on.

Someone who doesn't wait for leads to land in their inbox. You'll be comfortable picking up the phone, asking good questions, dealing with rejection and keeping going.

You'll understand your numbers, know what's in your pipeline and what needs to happen next.

What do you get in return?

You'll have the backing of an established recruitment business, a clear market to go after and plenty of autonomy to make an impact.

We offer uncapped commission, so your earning potential grows with the business you create.

And we want this role to grow.

If you're successful, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility, build a team and move into leadership as the Social Housing business develops.

We move quickly, back good people and give them room to succeed.

Character matters to us.

We want someone who works hard, treats people well, takes ownership and wants to perform at a high level.

If you're a strong B2B salesperson who wants the opportunity to build something, earn well and grow with the business, we'd like to talk
