About Sans Souci
Sans Souci creates bespoke glass and lighting installations, collection-based products and tailor-made solutions for prestigious interiors and luxury projects around the world. Our work combines Czech glass craftsmanship, design, technical know-how and complex project delivery.
We are now looking for a Business Development Manager to strengthen our presence in the UK market.
About the Role
This is primarily a new business development role. We are looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships from scratch and winning new project opportunities. This is not a passive account management role. Once a relationship is established, you will continue to develop it, but the core mission is to bring new business.
What you will do:
- Identify, approach and win new business opportunities across the UK market.
- Build relationships with architects, interior designers, lighting designers, developers, luxury hospitality clients, FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) consultants and other key partners.
- Map decision-makers and create a strong pipeline of potential projects.
- Represent Sans Souci in the UK market and increase brand awareness within the luxury lighting, design and hospitality segments.
- Lead early commercial conversations and turn opportunities into qualified projects.
- Work closely with our internal design, project management and technical teams.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Proven experience in business development, project sales or specification-led sales.
- A strong hunter mindset and clear track record of bringing new clients or projects.

- Ability to build trust with architects, designers, developers and senior decision-makers.
- Understanding of long sales cycles and complex project-based business.
- Independence, commercial maturity and strong communication and negotiation skills.
- Fluent English, as you will represent Sans Souci on the UK market and cooperate with our international team. Czech is not required but may be an advantage when communicating with our Czech-based headquarters and production.
