The Shore Group has been appointed by a £150m+ Design & Build office fit‑out specialist to recruit a Managing Director – Pod, a senior leadership role with full ownership of client strategy, commercial performance, and project outcomes.
This is a high‑impact, client‑centric leadership position, offering complete accountability for the project journey—from early client engagement, brief development, and design coordination through to delivery and handover. Working in close partnership with pre‑construction, design, commercial, and business development teams, you will act as the division’s primary client ambassador, ensuring an exceptional, seamless, and value‑led experience at every stage.
As Managing Director – Pod, you will have full P&L ownership of your business unit, reporting directly into the Board. You will play a pivotal role in shaping key client relationships, driving project success, and contributing to the wider strategic growth of the organisation. This opportunity is ideally suited to commercially minded, client‑facing leaders with a strong background in business development, workplace interiors, or D&B delivery who are ready to step into a senior leadership role with true end‑to‑end accountability.
Due to the senior and client-facing nature of this role, you will ideally demonstrate:
* Extensive leadership experience within a top‑tier Design & Build environment, with a strong track record shaping and delivering commercial office fit‑out strategy at scale.
* Proven ability to engage, influence, and build trust with C‑suite stakeholders, converting business objectives into clear commercial propositions and actionable design and delivery strategies.
* Demonstrated success in driving divisional growth, through both the acquisition of new client relationships and the expansion of strategic accounts to secure repeat business.
* A consistent record of securing and overseeing major D&B projects in the £5m–£25m range, ensuring profitability, quality, and delivery excellence.
* Experienced in leading multiple high‑value projects and teams concurrently, maintaining strategic oversight, operational control, and commercial precision across a dynamic portfolio.
