The opportunity Working closely with the MD, you will take responsibility for developing and winning new business across the UK housebuilding and new homes market. You will have a broad and established proposition to take to market, providing multiple opportunities to open doors, develop senior relationships and build substantial long-term clients. This is not simply about hitting a sales target. It is a senior, highly visible appointment within an ambitious SME where you will have the autonomy to create opportunities and the opportunity to become an influential part of the business as it grows. It is essential that you have a strong track record of selling into the UK housebuilding/new homes industry and can demonstrate credibility and relationships within the sector.

• Bring the gravitas and credibility to operate at senior level

• Be ambitious, entrepreneurial and comfortable creating your own opportunities

You will work closely with an MD who himself successfully progressed through this area of the business before ultimately going on to lead the organisation. The role is fully remote, with travel for client meetings, networking and industry events as required, alongside approximately one meeting per month with the wider team in Leicestershire. For someone with the right track record, this is the opportunity to become an important commercial figure within an ambitious SME at a really interesting point in its growth.
