Regional Social Housing & Public Sector ManagerNorth West | Competitive Salary + Bonus + Car Allowance
Build Something Big. Own the Sector. Shape the Future.
This isn’t a role where you inherit a customer base and maintain the status quo.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial individual to establish and grow our presence within the social housing and public sector market.
Starting with a blank canvas, you’ll develop the strategy, build relationships, secure contracts, and create a sustainable revenue stream that positions the business as a recognised partner to housing associations, local authorities, and contractors throughout the region.
This is your chance to build a sector, not just manage one.
What You’ll Be Doing
Create the Strategy
- Identify and target key housing associations, local authorities, and Tier 1 & Tier 2 contractors across the North West.
- Develop and execute a regional growth strategy.
- Build a strong pipeline of opportunities and establish the business as a credible and trusted partner within the sector.
Win New Business
- Open new trading accounts and secure supply agreements.
- Identify framework opportunities and tender prospects.
- Drive product specifications and increase market share within new customers.
- Convert opportunities into long‑term, recurring revenue streams.
Build Lasting Relationships
- Develop strong partnerships with procurement teams, asset and maintenance managers, repairs and maintenance teams, and contractors delivering planned and reactive works.
- Create strategic partnerships that deliver value, service, and long‑term growth.
Collaborate Across the Business
Working closely with branch teams, procurement, category managers, and key account colleagues, you’ll ensure customers receive the service, stock availability, and commercial support needed to win and retain business.
Frameworks & Public Sector Procurement
- Identify and develop opportunities through key frameworks including PfH, Fusion21, and local DPS agreements.
- Support and lead tender submissions.
- Create a pipeline of framework‑led opportunities that support long‑term growth.
About You
You’ll be someone who enjoys creating opportunities rather than inheriting them.
Essential
- A proven track record in social housing, public sector, construction supply, or builders merchant sales.
- Experience winning new business and developing markets from scratch.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to work independently.
- Existing relationships within housing associations, contractors, or public sector organisations.
Desirable
- Experience of framework procurement and tendering.
- Knowledge of planned maintenance and repairs & maintenance programmes.
- Established contacts within the North West social housing sector.
Reward & Progression
- Competitive salary (£50,000+ DOE)
- Uncapped performance‑related bonus
- Company car or car allowance
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Genuine opportunity to shape and lead a growing business sector
Why Apply
This role offers more than sales targets and account management. It’s an opportunity to build a market, create a legacy, and become the driving force behind a new growth area for a highly respected business. If you’ve ever wanted the challenge and satisfaction of running your own sector with the support and investment of an established organisation behind you, we’d love to hear from you.
