The Position
We are seeking a national sales leader, a consummate professional that is accustomed to driving sales growth via a UK-wide external sales team. You will be responsible for driving a 3-5-year growth strategy that incorporates the growth of existing public sector clients, acquisition of new clients, and collaboration with existing partners (contractors) and their client acquisition teams. You will be responsible for input into future growth strategy, with regular reporting on current business pipeline, market movements, client challenges and assisting with operational input to ensure successful project completion.
The Candidate
We are seeking a proven sales leader with a strong level of experience working in the construction sector. You must be familiar with and possess knowledge of public sector frameworks. It is anticipated that you will either have experience of working for a major contractor or consultancy with direct exposure to public sector procurement projects in civil infrastructure or utilities, or other national construction projects. We would also be interested in hearing from proven national sales managers that have experience promoting framework procurement solutions.
