As Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for generating new project opportunities for M Squared
This is a new business-focused role. You will identify, target and engage with contractors, developers, and clients to secure a consistent pipeline of opportunities across our core sectors.
You will not be inheriting a large account base. Your primary responsibility is to get in front of the right people, uncover opportunities, and bring work into the business.
This role suits someone with an existing network who is motivated by performance and the opportunity to earn through results.

New Business (Primary Focus)
* Identify and pursue new project opportunities across target sectors (public sector, commercial, housing, care, education and hospitality)
* Build relationships with main contractors, developers, and key client-side decision makers
* Proactively seek early visibility of upcoming projects
Pipeline Development
* Generate and manage a pipeline of qualified opportunities
* Get M Squared onto tender lists and into early-stage project conversations
* Maintain consistent outreach through networking, meetings and industry engagement
Opportunity Conversion Support
* Work with internal teams to support tender submissions and proposals
* Ensure smooth handover of opportunities into estimating and delivery teams
Market Awareness
* Stay informed on project activity, market trends and competitor positioning
* Share insights that help refine targeting and sector focus
Reporting
* Track pipeline activity, opportunities and conversion
* Report regularly on progress against targets
