NB this is a team support role, not a business development role
We’re working with an incredibly successful design agency with ambitious growth plans and a strong reputation for delivering high-quality commercial projects.
They’re looking for an experienced Business Development Support professional to become the operational engine behind the BD and Marketing team of 12.
This is not a traditional sales role. It’s a key position for someone who can bring structure, pace and accountability to a busy commercial function. You’ll be making sure actions happen, opportunities are progressed and nothing falls through the cracks.
We’re looking for experience in either professional services, property, architecture/design, construction or agency side.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Managing a high volume of actions, deadlines, meetings and stakeholders
- Keeping senior commercial people on track and following up on agreed actions
- Coordinating activity across multiple teams and ensuring everyone is working from a joined-up plan
- Producing clear weekly reporting on targets, actions, blockers and next steps
- Tracking commercial opportunities and making sure actions are progressed
- Identifying bottlenecks and proactively finding solutions
- Improving processes, trackers, systems and ways of working
You could come from a background in:
- Business Development Support
- Sales Operations / Sales Support
- Commercial Operations
- Sales or BD Coordination
- Account/Client Services Operations
- Executive Assistant / Senior PA with strong commercial exposure
You’ll need the confidence to hold people accountable and have constructive conversations when things aren't happening.
You won’t be expected to be the salesperson, but you will need to understand why the activity matters commercially and how it contributes to client relationships, winning work and growth.
We are committed to creating an inclusive recruitment process and welcome applications from all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
