Commercial Development Manager
Leeds City Centre | £35,000–£38,000 + uncapped commission | OTE £50,000+
We’re working with a growing flexible workspace business that is looking for a Commercial Development Manager to join its Leeds team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the commercial side of sales, building relationships and, importantly, winning new business. You’ll be responsible for driving revenue across a portfolio of workspaces, working with both new and existing clients and looking for opportunities to grow the business.
The role
You’ll take ownership of the sales process, from generating and following up leads through to negotiating and closing deals. You’ll build relationships with prospective clients, brokers and internal teams, while keeping a close eye on the pipeline and making sure revenue targets are being met.
There’s a good mix of finding new opportunities, converting existing leads and looking for ways to grow existing client relationships. You’ll also have responsibility for pricing, forecasting and keeping on top of what’s happening in the local market.
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.
Only hits

- Negotiating deals and making sure pricing and available space are being used effectively
- Working closely with Marketing to generate a strong flow of leads
- Keeping the CRM up to date and providing accurate sales forecasts
- Keeping an eye on competitor activity and looking for new commercial opportunities
- Working with the wider team to make sure clients have a great experience
About you
We’re looking for someone who is commercially minded, enjoys working towards targets and knows how to turn an opportunity into a sale.
You’ll need a proven track record in sales or revenue generation, ideally with at least two years’ experience in a solutions-based sales environment. You’ll be confident speaking to people at all levels, comfortable negotiating and not afraid to pick up the phone and make things happen.
