Wallace Hind Selection LTD
Kingston Upon Thames, London
Do you like to identify, win and then run the project? This Contract Manager role is more than shifting paperwork. You ll be integral throughout the proposal / tender phase, winning the business and making sure the client receives what they signed up for. Covering London and the surrounding area, you ll drive the new high end special projects division, identifying key architects and designers who value style luxury and quality. BASIC SALARY: £45,000 - £55,000 BENEFITS: Commission structure aligned to performance (1/2% on sales) Full product and technical training Company pension 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays + Christmas shutdown (3/4 days) LOCATION: Twickenham (office based) - realistically you'll spend 50% of your time in the showroom / office, and 50% on site, meeting clients, architects, contractors and developers. COMMUTABLE LOCATIONS: West London, Slough, Uxbridge, Ealing, Camberley, Woking, Epsom, Hayes, Wembley, Beaconsfield WE HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL! We have built an enviable reputation delivering bespoke fireplace solutions into some of the most impressive residential and commercial properties in the UK. Our projects range from luxury private homes through to hospitality and prestigious commercial environments. The business has a strong heritage, an established reputation and a growing pipeline of opportunities. What we're looking for now is somebody who can help take that growth even further. Not somebody who waits, somebody who gets involved. THE OPPORTUNITY : Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products Most people would describe this as a sales role. They're wrong! Yes, there is sales involved. But if you're purely a salesperson waiting for enquiries to arrive and customers to walk through the door, this probably isn't for you. Because the reality is very different. This is a role built around projects, relationships, commercial awareness and ownership. One day you could be in the showroom discussing a luxury residential project worth £75,000. The next you're meeting an architect, contractor or developer to understand what they're working on and where you can add value. This is about becoming part of the project long before an order is placed, and that means understanding people, drawings, specifications, timelines, budgets and construction projects not just products. JOB DESCRIPTION: Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products This Contracts Manager role sits right in the middle of sales, project management and stakeholder engagement. One project alone could involve a homeowner, an architect, an interior designer, a contractor, a project manager, our installation team, and they all have different priorities - your job is to bring it all together. You'll manage opportunities from first enquiry through to project award, working with multiple stakeholders to ensure projects move forward commercially and successfully. This isn't transactional selling, it's consultative, it's project-led and ultimately, it's about helping clients deliver exceptional spaces. The purpose of the role is simple: Identify, develop and convert project opportunities, Manage project enquiries from first contact through to order confirmation. Build relationships with architects, interior designers, contractors and developers. Own projects from initial enquiry through to order. Work closely with operational and installation teams to ensure successful delivery. Help grow the Special Projects side of the business. KEY RESPONSBILITIES: Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products Attending client meetings and site visits. Working with drawings, specifications and project information. Producing quotations and proposals. Representing the business at networking and industry events. Owning your pipeline and your results. REQUIREMENTS: Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products You do not need specific product experience (we do fireplaces). Experience operating in construction, interiors, fit-out, residential projects or design-led environments is preferred as you will have exposure to architects, contractors, developers and project stakeholders, along with the ability to understand drawings, specifications and project information. Strong commercial awareness and excellent communication skills. A proactive mindset and the confidence to create opportunities rather than waiting for them. Build relationships. Manage complex projects. Understand technical detail. Communicate with different stakeholders. You will most likely be one of the following Contracts Manager, Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor, Estimator, Specification Sales Manager, Technical Sales Consultant, Design & Build Professional or a High-End Interiors Sales Consultant THE COMPANY: You ll be joining a well-established, specialist business operating within a premium segment, working on projects that genuinely stand out. It s a close-knit team where collaboration matters, input is valued, and success is visible This isn t corporate. You won t be a number. INTERESTED? Please click apply. You will receive an acknowledgement of your application. Wallace Hind Selection, alongside our client embrace diversity, champion equality, and foster inclusion to create a work environment where everyone belongs and thrives.

Do you like to identify, win and then run the project? This Contract Manager role is more than shifting paperwork. You ll be integral throughout the proposal / tender phase, winning the business and making sure the client receives what they signed up for. Covering London and the surrounding area, you ll drive the new high end special projects division, identifying key architects and designers who value style luxury and quality.

COMMUTABLE LOCATIONS: West London, Slough, Uxbridge, Ealing, Camberley, Woking, Epsom, Hayes, Wembley, Beaconsfield WE HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL! We have built an enviable reputation delivering bespoke fireplace solutions into some of the most impressive residential and commercial properties in the UK. Our projects range from luxury private homes through to hospitality and prestigious commercial environments. The business has a strong heritage, an established reputation and a growing pipeline of opportunities. What we're looking for now is somebody who can help take that growth even further. Not somebody who waits, somebody who gets involved. THE OPPORTUNITY : Contracts Manager, Sales - Interior Design - Luxury Products Most people would describe this as a sales role. They're wrong! Yes, there is sales involved. But if you're purely a salesperson waiting for enquiries to arrive and customers to walk through the door, this probably isn't for you. Because the reality is very different. This is a role built around projects, relationships, commercial awareness and ownership. One day you could be in the showroom discussing a luxury residential project worth £75,000. The next you're meeting an architect, contractor or developer to understand what they're working on and where you can add value. This is about becoming part of the project long before an order is placed, and that means understanding people, drawings, specifications, timelines, budgets and construction projects not just products.
