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.
