About the Role

Business Development Manager
High-End Design & Build Projects

£40,000 - £50,000 + Bonus + Car Allowance + Benefits
Remote - UK


 

Do you love the idea of turning blank spaces into places where imagination runs wild and children thrive?

Are you passionate about creating meaningful, lasting environments through consultative, purpose-driven sales?

I'm working with a long-established, high-end design and build business that creates bespoke outdoor environments-think playgrounds, leisure spaces, and outdoor learning environments for schools, councils, and leisure operators.

They're not your average supplier. Their work is fully bespoke, sustainably sourced, and often iconic-delivering projects that range from £50k up to several million, for a client base spanning from primary schools to major visitor attractions across the UK and beyond.

They're now looking to grow the commercial team with the hire of a Sales Consultant. This isn't a "hard sell" environment-it's consultative, creative, and built around long-term client relationships. Most business is inbound or referral-led, but you'll also be given the freedom to grow new markets or deepen existing ones.

What you'll do:

  • Act as the first point of contact for new enquiries
  • Qualify and nurture inbound leads
  • Work closely with designers to co-create truly unique outdoor spaces
  • Visit schools, councils, or leisure clients where appropriate
  • Keep on top of activity and trends using HubSpot CRM
  • Take ownership of your region and revenue goals

What they're looking for:

  • Experienced in consultative or solution-based sales
  • Can be based anywhere in the UK
  • Comfortable managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented, and process-driven
  • Confident using CRM systems to manage pipelines and performance
  • Interested in or knowledgeable about outdoor play, street furniture, timber structures, sustainable design, or public realm projects
  • Proactive in nurturing existing relationships while developing new opportunities

What's in it for you:

  • Salary between £40,000 - £50,000
  • High paid performance-based bonus (up to 50-75% of base in top-performing years)
  • Car allowance (or company vehicle)
  • Company laptop, mobile phone
  • 22 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas closure
  • Ongoing training & development
  • Option to work remotely with visits to HQ 1-2x per month

You'll be joining a close-knit and supportive team where the average tenure is 8+ years-proof that people tend to stay once they're in. If you're selling in the play sector already, this is a step up. If not, but you know education or consultative project sales, this could be your next move.

Interested? Drop me a message or apply directly, and I'll be in touch to talk you through the role and business in more detail.
