Are you a commercially driven Business Development professional with a proven track record of winning major contracts and building successful business partnerships?

Vibe Recruit is working in partnership with an ambitious and growing organisation specialising in energy efficiency, property improvements and large-scale housing retrofit programmes.

Due to continued growth and exciting expansion plans, we are looking to recruit an experienced Business Development Director to drive new business, secure major contracts and develop strategic partnerships across Wales and the South West of England.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an established Business Development Manager, Head of Business Development or Commercial Manager looking to take the next step in their career.

Previous experience in the retrofit industry is NOT essential. We are particularly interested in candidates from social housing, construction, property maintenance, facilities management or related sectors who have experience securing significant contracts and frameworks.

The Role

You will play a key role in driving commercial growth, identifying new opportunities and developing long-term relationships with housing associations, local authorities and other major clients.

Working closely with senior leadership, you will have the opportunity to influence business strategy and contribute directly to the company's continued success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Negotiate commercial agreements and secure profitable, long-term contracts.
• Develop existing client relationships to maximise repeat business.
• Identify opportunities for expansion into new markets and geographical areas.
• Work alongside commercial and operational teams to deliver sustainable business growth.

What Are We Looking For?

• Proven experience in Business Development, Commercial Management or Strategic Account Management.
• A successful track record of winning significant contracts, tenders or frameworks.
• Experience within social housing, construction, property services, facilities management or a related industry.
• Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills.
• Experience developing relationships with senior stakeholders and key decision-makers.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• A proactive, ambitious and results-driven approach.

Knowledge of social housing retrofit, energy efficiency or decarbonisation would be advantageous but is not essential.

We are equally interested in candidates from related industries who can demonstrate a strong track record of securing major contracts and delivering commercial growth.
