Business Development Manager – Soft FM Services

Benefits: Company car, 32 days’ holiday (including bank holidays), structured commission scheme, strong progression and training support.

About the Role:

We’re partnered with a respected and fast growing facilities management provider with a strong reputation across public and commercial markets. Due to continued expansion they’re now looking for a dynamic Business Development Manager to take ownership of new business growth, with a focus on long term contracts as well as ad hoc opportunities!

Experience in grounds maintenance or pest control is a strong bonus, but the priority is someone who knows how to win commercial Soft FM work through relationship-building, networking, and proactive sales.

This is a pivotal hire offering the chance to make a tangible impact, build trusted relationships, and help shape the company’s next phase of growth.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Win and drive new business across Soft FM Services
  • Managing the full sales cycles, researching prospects, opening doors, presenting solutions, and handing over secured contracts
  • Balancing fast moving sales with strategic, high value, multi site opportunities
  • Building long-term client relationships through networking, meetings, events, and direct outreach
  • Work closely with internal teams to ensure seamless mobilisation of new contracts

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–3 years’ experience in business development across Soft FM services (Commercial Cleaning, Ground maintenance, Pest Control) or experience selling security services (i.e. CCTV, surveillance)
  • Strong track record of winning and delivering contracts in the £500k+ range
  • Professional, consultative sales approach – relationship-driven, not transactional
  • Confident communicator who can influence decision makers across multiple sectors
  • Honest, proactive, and commercially astute, with the drive to deliver results
  • Full UK driving licence (company car provided)

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a business where people thrive and develop. With uncapped commission, excellent benefits, and a supportive leadership team, you’ll have the platform to grow your career while making a real impact in the facilities management sector.
