Senior Client Development Manager
Position
This is a senior, relationship-led sales role focused on developing high-value client accounts, generating new business and maximising revenue from an established portfolio. Working closely with the Sales Director, you will manage senior C-suite relationships across key accounts, with a focus on creating repeat business and long-term commercial partnerships.
You will take ownership of your sales pipeline from opportunity through to conversion, combining proactive business development with strategic account management. Networking, industry events, CPDs and face-to-face client engagement will form an important part of the position, alongside identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts and re-engage previous clients.
This is a highly client-facing position where service is expected to feel personal and premium rather than transactional. You will also act as a senior presence within the wider sales team, sharing expertise, mentoring junior colleagues and setting a strong example around sales technique and client management.
Candidate
The successful candidate will be an experienced specification sales professional with a strong network across the architectural, interior design or luxury residential market.
