THE OPPORTUNITY : Business Development Manager, Sales & Account Manager, Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products Most people would describe this as a sales role. They're wrong!

Because the reality is very different. This is a role built around projects, relationships, commercial awareness and ownership. One day you could be in the showroom discussing a luxury residential project worth £75,000. The next you're meeting an architect, contractor or developer to understand what they're working on and where you can add value.

You will also have; Strong commercial awareness and excellent communication skills. A proactive mindset and the confidence to create opportunities rather than waiting for them. Experience in managing complex projects. Comfort in understanding technical detail. Experience of communicating with different stakeholders.
