Senior Business Development Manager, NSI Projects
The Role: Where Prospecting Meets Delivery
This is not a desk-bound account management role. You will lead from the front, identifying, pursuing, and securing high-value warehouse and office fit-out opportunities across the Northwest & Midlands. You will own the full commercial journey: from cold outreach to signed contract, and from pricing to project handover.
Your Key Areas of Responsibility
1. New Business Prospecting & Pipeline Development
- Proactively identifying and pursuing new business opportunities across racking, shelving, mezzanine floors, commercial interiors, and solar PV systems.
- Using LinkedIn, industry networking, CRM (Dynamics), and site visits to build a relentless pipeline of qualified opportunities.
- Managing multiple deal cycles simultaneously, qualifying fast, disqualifying faster, and keeping complex, long-lead deals on track.
2. Brand & Relationship Building (Client-Facing)
- Acting as the visible, trusted face of NSI Projects on site and in the market.
- Building genuine relationships at all levels of the customer organisation, including with warehouse managers, operations directors, and facilities leads, and becoming their go-to for fit-out solutions.
- Representing the brand at industry events, on LinkedIn, and across the Northwest & Midlands business community.
3. Commercial Ownership & Operational Discipline
- Taking full responsibility for pricing, proposals, contract conditions, and securing the order.
- Working closely with internal delivery teams to ensure what you sell can be delivered brilliantly.
- Maintaining meticulous CRM discipline, every call, every email, every site visit is tracked.
4. Strategy & Growth Input
- Feeding market intelligence back into pricing and service strategy.
- Identifying repeatable growth plays, sectors, geographies, or service lines worth doubling down on.
