If you're a commercially driven sales leader who enjoys developing relationships, opening doors and creating sustainable growth, this could be the ideal next step in your career.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and lead the company's sales strategy across key target sectors including Property Management, Facilities Management, Healthcare, Education, Commercial, Industrial, Housing and Estates.

• Generate new opportunities through networking, referrals, direct prospecting and targeted business development activity.
• Build meaningful relationships with decision-makers, stakeholders and industry contacts.
• Take ownership of the sales process, ensuring opportunities are effectively managed from initial engagement through to successful delivery.
• Work closely with operational and technical teams to ensure opportunities are commercially viable and deliverable.
• Provide visibility across pipeline activity, forecasting and commercial performance.
• Drive profitable, sustainable growth while protecting margins and service quality.
• Grow existing customer accounts through exceptional relationship management and service delivery.
• Represent the business professionally and uphold the highest standards of integrity and customer care.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• A proven track record in sales leadership, business development or senior commercial roles.
• Experience within Fire & Security, Facilities Management, Property Services, Compliance, Building Services or a similar service-led environment.
• A strong history of generating and winning new business opportunities.
• Experience building and managing structured sales pipelines.
• The ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders and decision-makers.
• A consultative, relationship-led approach to sales.
• Strong commercial awareness, negotiation and strategic planning skills.
• Experience working with CRM systems and sales reporting tools.
• The drive, resilience and ambition to help lead business growth.
• A professional, ethical and customer-focused approach.

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to join an ambitious business in a senior commercial role where you'll have genuine influence over future growth.

You'll work directly alongside the CEO and leadership team, helping to shape sales strategy, develop new opportunities and build long-term customer relationships.

The business is looking for someone who can bring energy, structure and commercial focus while maintaining the values that have helped establish its strong reputation within the market.
