* Stakeholder Coordination: Act as the key point of contact between main contractors and our internal teams, ensuring smooth handover of specifications and alignment with sales teams.
* Market & Competitor Awareness: Stay updated on industry trends, competitor specifications, and main contractor requirements to position our products effectively.
Key Skills & Experience:
* Non-negotiable: Experience in construction, specification sales, and main contractor engagement (working within the RIBA framework).
* Strong knowledge of main contractor procurement processes and their key concerns (cost, compliance, efficiency, and risk mitigation).
* Understanding of the BSA, GTW2 and how it impacts the industry.
* Proven ability to negotiate and secure agreements with contractors.
* Project tracking expertise, understanding when and how to intervene in the project timeline.
* Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to bridge relationships between contractors, subcontractors, and internal teams.
* Technical understanding of construction materials/products.
* Commercial acumen, able to align our offering with the business objectives of main contractors.
* Fluent in English with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Why Join Us?

* Development position to more senior levels in the organization.
* Strategic, high-impact role with the ability to shape our market presence.
