Job description

Location – Field based role across the South West

IPS Group are working with a leading Insurer within the structural warranty and construction sector to recruit a Business Development Manager covering across the South Western region of the UK.

The main focus of the role is to generate new business relationships with developers, contractors, housing associations and other construction professionals.

There is already an internal sales support team, so this gives you the opportunity to really build those bridges without having to worry about the admin, quotes, and technical stakeholder engagement side of things.

The role is field based so there is an expectation to manage your own diary as well as being flexible with your working hours due to the nature of the position.

You’ll be responsible for identifying new opportunities across residential, commercial and mixed‑use developments, managing a clear sales pipeline and acting as a trusted partner to clients. Strong stakeholder engagement, commercial awareness and the ability to understand technical products are key.

I’m keen to speak with people that have experience in business development or B2B sales within insurance, construction, property or related sectors.
