Stop Selling Someone Else’s Number. Run the Business Instead.
Every senior BD or Specification Sales professional hits the same wall eventually. You are the one with the relationships. You are the one who wins the work. You are the one the directors lean on when a deal needs rescuing. And every year you take a number from someone who has not been in front of a customer in a decade and grind it out again.
This is the role where that stops.
What You Are Actually Being Asked To Run
A profitable £3m specialist building services business. P and L ownership. Workshop, installation team, project delivery and the commercial function all reporting in to you. The keys are actually being handed over.
Here Is The Bit That Makes This Rare
You do not lose the customer-facing side of the job. You are still the senior face of the business in front of the supply chain. You still own the relationships that win the work. You still close the deals that matter. You just do it as the person who runs the business rather than the person who carries the bag for someone who does.
The Way This Business Wins
The route to margin is the integrated package sale. Putting scope together at design stage with main contractors, consultants, architects and end-users rather than competing component by component. If that is how you have always wanted to sell, and never quite been allowed to, this is the platform built around exactly that.
You Are Not Walking Into A Rescue Mission
You will have a credible technical team underneath you who know how to deliver the work. You will have an ownership structure above you who are committed to the next phase of growth and ready to back the person running it. The platform has been built. The seat is for the commercial leader who takes it to the next level.
Who This Is For
You have built a career in construction, building services, fit-out, M and E or specification sales. You have hit your BD numbers consistently. You have either had a taste of running a business unit or sat one seat away from the GM for long enough to know exactly what you would do with the chance. You have been in enough pre-start meetings to know where the money is made and lost. You can hold a technical conversation with engineers and end-users without pretending to be the deepest expert in the room. And you are ready for the step up your current employer is unlikely to give you.
One technical line you need to be able to draw under. You can read a drawing. That is the only hard requirement on the technical side. Everything else is about commercial instinct and supply chain credibility.
What You Actually Get
The seat that finally puts the two halves of your job under your own control. The strategy and the customer. The P and L and the relationships. The business and the deal.
£70,000 base plus £20,000 to £30,000 OTE plus car and perks. A profitable business with the workshop, the reputation and the pipeline already in place. A platform credible enough to make the next chapter of your career the one you actually want to be remembered for.
