• Organise and host business and client events.
• Manage and maintain the sales pipeline using Zoho CRM.
• Work with our marketing agency to showcase projects and maintain marketing materials.
• Coordinate the tender process and maintain the tender library.

About You

• A natural relationship builder who enjoys meeting new people.
• Proactive, organised and self-motivated.
• Confident making introductions and developing new opportunities.
• Commercially aware, resilient and professional.
• Construction, property or related sector experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.
• Experience of using LinkedIn for business development and relationship building

What Success Looks Like

• New opportunities and qualified meetings generated.
• Pipeline growth.
• Repeat business secured.
• Tender success rates.
• Strong client engagement and referrals.

Full-time (40 hours per week), 6 month initial contract, based at our Crawley office with regular travel across the South East. A full UK driving licence is essential.
