What you'll actually be doing You'll own the full sales process - but this isn't about churning quick wins. Qualifying opportunities properly (and walking away from the wrong ones) Managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles Developing key accounts while opening new doors Building a pipeline that's realistic, not wishful thinking Working closely with technical and operational teams to make sure what's sold can actually be delivered Leading bid/no-bid conversations with commercial common sense Handing over clean, well-defined projects - not problems for ops to fix Keeping CRM up to date and genuinely useful (Zoho experience helps) Representing the business properly with clients, partners and across the sector What they're looking for You're not someone who just "keeps busy" - you know how to qualify, prioritise and actually progress opportunities. Commercially sharp - you get margin, risk and fit Comfortable asking proper questions (not just nodding along) Credible with senior stakeholders Organised, consistent and good on follow-through Calm enough to handle long sales cycles without panicking Confident enough to challenge internally when something doesn't stack up Experience that helps Selling high-value, solution-led or project-based services Managing longer, more complex sales cycles Working with multiple stakeholders across a deal Background in technical / engineering / construction / infrastructure environments Impact Recruitment is an employment agency working on behalf of our client.
