A well-established design and build contractor on the South Coast is looking to appoint a Business Development Executive to join their growing commercial team. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of a business with bold ambitions, a strong reputation in the market, and a culture that rewards energy, collaboration, and success.
Role Overview:
This is a front-line sales role focused on identifying, qualifying, and developing new business opportunities within the commercial interior fit-out space.

Proactively research, identify, and engage potential clients using phone, LinkedIn, email, and other outbound channels.

Qualify opportunities and pass warm, high-value leads to the Sales Director and wider commercial team.
*
Build and manage a pipeline of prospects, ensuring opportunities are accurately tracked within the CRM (Pipedrive).

Enthusiastic, self-motivated, and resilient, with excellent organisational skills.
*
Professional communicator with the confidence to engage senior decision-makers.
*
Experience with CRM systems (ideally Pipedrive) and Office 365.
*
Strong work ethic and a genuine interest in interiors, design, or commercial spaces is a bonus.
KPIs You’ll Be Working Towards:
*
Generating £250,000 in weekly leads handed to sales.
*
Moving £750,000 of qualified opportunities per week through the pipeline.
*
Completing 250+ sales activities weekly.
