Business Development Executive, Building Services

Business Development Executive, Building Services, £46,000 basic plus benefits, London-based. This is a rare opportunity with a prestigious not-for-profit trade body serving the construction and wider built environment sectors, including civil engineering and M&E. Based in Central London, the role combines account management of more than 30 major, long-standing corporate clients with new business development for similar large construction organisations. This is a hands-on, relationship-led sales role rather than a corporate strategy or pure new business position. This position offers a distinctive commercial proposition that sets it apart from traditional transactional sales roles. Instead of pitching a commodity product, you will be selling premium access to the association's elite network of large tier-1 construction and engineering firms.

You will spend your time networking at industry events, meeting clients face-to-face and pitching by phone to build long-term partnerships. The role involves some evening work at events such as industry awards and red-carpet product launch events, as well as working away from the office to attend all the major construction industry trade exhibitions. This role will give you access to the C-Suite of tier-1 construction and engineering firms and, if done well, you will rapidly become a 'name' in the sector.

What We Are Looking For

* A proven track record in a commercial sales, business development, or corporate account management role
* A background in selling serviced offices, building products, exhibition sales, specification sales, construction software, or a closely related area.
* You will possess the natural networking skills to engage confidently with everyone from construction contractors to marketing managers, architects and C-Suite personnel.
* You will be highly self-motivated, resilient, and comfortable working autonomously within a close, collaborative team
* Ideally, you will bring experience with a modern CRM platform such as Salesforce or HubSpot.
* A solid grasp of digital marketing and social media would be useful, along with tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or similar BD tools.
