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.

The purpose of the role is simple: Identify, develop and convert project opportunities, Manage project enquiries from first contact through to order confirmation. Build relationships with architects, interior designers, contractors and developers. Own projects from initial enquiry through to order. Work closely with operational and installation teams to ensure successful delivery. Help grow the Special Projects side of the business. REQUIREMENTS: Business Development Manager, Sales & Account Manager, Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products You do not need specific product experience, if you are operating in construction, interiors, fit-out, residential projects or design-led environments it would be an advantage as you will have exposure to architects, contractors, developers and project stakeholders, along with the ability to understand drawings, specifications and project information. 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.
