Why this role could be your next move

This is a newly created Business Development role, offering a rare opportunity to shape and own the national BD function within a growing, ambitious business.

You’ll enjoy genuine autonomy, strong senior leadership support, and the chance to work with high-profile venues, stadiums, and event operators. With a clear growth strategy in place, this role offers real career progression, including the potential to move into a broader leadership position.

If you thrive on building relationships, winning complex contracts, and seeing your work come to life on-site, this role will suit you perfectly.

What you’ll be doing

* Developing and delivering a national business development strategy across security, traffic management, stewarding, and car parking services.

* Building, managing, and converting a high-quality sales pipeline across London, the North West, and emerging national markets.

* Leading tenders, client presentations, and solution workshops, from initial engagement through to contract award and mobilisation.

* Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, positioning the business as a long-term partner rather than a supplier.

* Working closely with operational and commercial teams to ensure solutions are profitable, compliant, and operationally sound.

* Line managing and supporting at least one team member as the function grows.

What we’re looking for

* Proven business development or sales experience within a people-based, outsourced services environment such as security, facilities management, cleaning, traffic management, or events.

* A strong consultative sales approach with a demonstrable track record of winning new business.

* Experience leading tenders, multi-stakeholder sales processes, and managing longer sales cycles.

* Commercially astute, proactive, resilient, and relationship-led.

Nice to have

* Experience selling into stadiums, venues, festivals, or large-scale events.

* Knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements within security or traffic management.

How success will be measured

* Quality, value, and conversion of the sales pipeline

* New business revenue achieved (circa £1m+ annually)

* Tender success rates and smooth contract mobilisation

* Strength of client relationships and senior decision-maker engagement
