Are you a strategic, commercially minded leader with a passion for driving growth and building lasting client relationships?

We’re partnering with a highly respected, family‑led facilities management organisation recognised for its professional, innovative, and service‑focused approach. As Head of Business Development, you’ll lead the charge in expanding the company’s footprint across the UK — securing new contracts, nurturing existing relationships, and developing integrated Soft and Hard FM solutions that deliver real value for clients.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned professional who thrives in a people‑first culture and enjoys working across both strategic and operational levels to deliver tangible commercial results.

The Role

• Lead and inspire a small, high‑performing team including Bid and Project professionals.
• Develop and deliver a growth strategy focused on winning profitable new business and retaining key accounts.
• Identify and qualify opportunities across public and private sector markets.
• Lead the end‑to‑end tender process — from opportunity sourcing and bid writing to presentation and negotiation.
• Produce high‑quality, client‑focused proposals that highlight innovation, value, and service excellence.
• Prepare detailed cost models and commercial analyses in collaboration with the senior leadership team.
• Manage client relationships through to successful contract mobilisation, ensuring seamless operational handovers.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations, Finance, and HR to ensure bids are deliverable and profitable.
• Represent the business at industry events, client meetings, and networking forums to elevate brand awareness.
• Provide regular pipeline, performance, and forecasting reports to the Commercial Director.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven success in Business Development, Commercial Management, or Sales Leadership within Facilities Management, Building Services, or related sectors.
• Strong leadership skills and experience managing bids and business development teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — with the ability to craft compelling, well‑structured proposals.
• Commercially astute, with confidence in financial modelling and margin management.
• Solid understanding of FM operations, service delivery, and mobilisation processes.
• Resilient, driven, and results‑oriented with a collaborative, professional approach.
• A confident networker who builds long‑term client partnerships.

Salary, Commission & Benefits

• Base Salary: £75,000 per annum
• Car Allowance: £8,400 per annum (£700 per month)
• Matched Pension Contributions: Up to 6% from the employer (when matched by the employee).
• Holidays: 25 days + bank holidays
• Hybrid working and flexible environment that values trust and accountability.

Why Join?
