Do you have a strong work ethic and a passion for exploring new opportunities to build business within the Commercial Interiors sector?
Our client, a respected market leader, are looking for a Housebuilder Sales Manager to take on the challenge of penetrating various aspects of the Residential market through key clients and specifiers that operate within the sector.
The aim will be to gain buying agreements where appropriate and to build a project pipeline based on a variety of Residential buildings from luxury developments through to social housing.
As the fast-growing construction market evolves at pace, your role will be to keep at the forefront of the market and new projects – spotting and leveraging opportunities to grow sales with existing products and customers; and proactively creating openings to sell in products and bring new customers on board.
You’ll have all the tools to do the job: the broadest product range, great delivery support and top-class customer service. You’ll need to leverage your potential through your customer relationship building skills, tenacity and drive to build and grow the area.
Specifically, you will be responsible for:
- Develop a customer list across London and South East England.
- Create a specific business plan to proactively identify and target growth opportunities.
- Maintain and develop relationships with existing and potential customers at all levels of the customer hierarchy, in order to provide support and develop awareness of the company’s products and services.
- Sell and influence the sale of products and services within margin guidelines. Maximise the sales of all products across different applications (by market sector) to ensure the highest margin opportunity can be achieved whilst ensuring billings targets are reached or exceeded.
- Identify, record, monitor and convert project opportunities within the marketplace to maintain and improve market share.
- Identify market and competitor information and feed it back to the business in order to ensure market requirements and competitor developments are incorporated into marketing and product plans.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
