Snr Client Development Manager

I am representing a well-established and highly regarded business within the architectural and premium lighting sector, looking to appoint an experienced Senior Client Development Manager.

This is a senior, client-facing sales role focused on developing high-value relationships, growing key accounts and generating new business opportunities.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and developing a portfolio of major clients, building relationships at senior and C-suite level, identifying new opportunities and driving projects through the sales process.

• Strong background within the lighting industry, ideally architectural or specification lighting
• Proven experience in senior business development, account management or specification sales
• Experience working with high-value clients and developing long-term relationships
• Comfortable engaging with architects, designers and senior stakeholders
• A proactive self-starter with the ability to generate and develop their own opportunities
• Strong networking, presentation and relationship-building skills
• Commercially driven with a disciplined and professional approach to sales
• Honest, reliable and no-nonsense approach with strong personal ownership

• Salary: Circa £65,000, depending on experience
• Excellent OTE and earning potential for high performers
• Home-based role with travel to clients and industry events
• Travel to London approximately once or twice per quarter for sales meetings and time with senior leadership

The first stage will be a Teams interview with HR and the Sales Director, including a short presentation outlining a 30/60-day plan (maximum five slides).

Successful candidates will then attend a second-stage interview with the CEO.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and experienced lighting sales professional to join a premium, well-established business and take ownership of developing some of its most important client relationships.
