Looking for a sales leadership role in one of the UK’s fastest-growing environmental markets?
Our client, Wild Capital, are a leading national provider of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) units, nutrient neutrality credits, and environmental offsets, and they’re now investing in a senior commercial hire to lead their expansion into major infrastructure.
With upcoming regulatory changes bringing Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) into scope for BNG, this is a huge, untapped market opportunity, and they need someone who knows how to navigate it commercially and deliver a real ROI.
The Opportunity:
This is a front-foot, revenue-generating role where your ability to open doors, build trust, and close deals will define your success.
- You’ll lead Wild Capital’s presence across the infrastructure sector, building relationships with Tier 1 contractors, developers, DCO applicants, and their advisors, and converting those into high-value commercial agreements.
If you’ve built a strong network across infrastructure and understand how projects are funded, procured, and delivered, this is your chance to leverage that knowledge in a new, high-growth market.
What you’ll be doing:
- Driving business development across NSIPs and major infrastructure (transport, energy, water, utilities)
- Building and leveraging relationships with Tier 1 contractors, promoters, and advisory firms
- Leading the negotiation of complex BNG and environmental offset deals
- Acting as the face of Wild Capital within the infrastructure market
- Shaping commercial strategy and identifying new routes to market
- Collaborating with internal technical teams to deliver credible, commercially viable solutions

- A deep understanding of how infrastructure projects are structured, procured, and delivered
- Experience negotiating and closing high-value, multi-stakeholder deals
- The credibility to operate at senior / board level
Bonus points if you have:
- Exposure to ecology, environmental consultancy, or planning
- Knowledge of BNG, the Environment Act, or wider environmental markets
