Job Description

Senior Business Development Manager Build-to-Rent & Multi-Unit Residential

Manchester-based Remote working London operational base
OTE circa £120,000 Uncapped commission

The relationships open the door. The ability to win complex bids secures the contract.

A growing, design-led furniture and interiors business is seeking an established BTR specialist to win furnishing contracts across schemes of 100-500+ homes.
This opportunity suits someone already selling services or furniture, fixtures and equipment into BTR, co-living or multi-unit residential developments-with the network and results to prove it.

The experience that matters:

• Established relationships with developers, operators, institutional investors and procurement leads
• A track record of securing major scheme contracts, framework agreements and preferred-supplier positions
• Ownership of competitive tenders, from qualification and bid strategy through to submission and pitch
• Credibility with senior executives and investment committees
• The discipline to manage 9-18-month sales cycles and negotiate complex, phased contracts

The backing to deliver:

• An experienced design and operations team
• Close collaboration with the Head of Sales and direct access to the founders
• Freedom to shape the BTR channel and target opportunities
• Uncapped commission rewarding large scheme and framework wins

An existing BTR or multi-unit residential sales track record is essential.
