£40,000+, depending on experience

Manchester

Hybrid working - 3 days onsite & 2 remote

This is a purpose-driven business of 40+ specialists, all focused on using great design to create better outcomes. This is a well-established, close-knit business with a strong reputation for looking after its people. The average tenure is six years, and some of the team have been there since day one. They’re known for beautiful, thoughtful design, and the office reflects it. They like to grow talent from within, backed by training and mentoring, so it’s a really exciting time to join.

They’re now looking for a Sales & Marketing Coordinator to play a pivotal role supporting the Business Development team, commercial documentation and marketing. You’ll keep sales tracking, bids, CRM and contracts running smoothly in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

You’ll be an integral part of the BD team, working closely with Associate Directors, Directors, Designers and the Delivery team. You’ll also build relationships with external clients and supply partners, and be the main point of contact for PR, graphic design and photography consultants.

The role:

• Support the BD team by capturing data, managing sales trackers, formatting tender responses and helping coordinate client meetings.
• Maintain the CRM system, keeping data accurate and helping improve CRM processes.
• Assist with quotations and bid proposals, building a digital bid repository and, over time, taking on more of the bid writing.
• Manage client contracts and internal sign-offs, including registering, archiving, dispatching and tracking documents.
• Gather and manage marketing and bid materials such as team CVs, project imagery, case studies and testimonials, liaise with external consultants and help plan events and CSR initiatives.

What we’re looking for:

• Exceptionally organised and detail-focused, with a track record of managing competing priorities, tight deadlines and administrative systems.
• Experience in sales support, business development, bid or marketing coordination, ideally within building, construction or interior design, although this isn’t essential.
• Hands‑on experience with CRM systems and data management, with a real passion for improving processes.
• Strong communicator and writer, comfortable working with directors, designers, clients, consultants and supply partners.
• Self‑motivated, team‑oriented and commercially aware, with competent software skills (knowledge of AI in workflow is a bonus, but not essential).
