Location: Hatfield, AL10
Salary: £40,000
Working Hours: Monday- Friday
Job Code: MJ2224
Commercial Development Manager
Imagine being handed the keys to a business division and the total autonomy to scale it as your own.
My client in Hatfield is looking for a commercially driven builder, not just a manager, to turn a solid foundation into a powerhouse.
Supported by the stability and resources of an established £40m facilities management group, you’ll hit the ground running with immediate access to 350 warm leads. The brief is simple: win the work, grow the revenue, and own the results.
As you expand the footprint and recruit your own delivery team, you will be rewarded like a business owner. Beyond a competitive base salary, you’ll benefit from a significant profit-sharing scheme linked directly to your division’s success.
For a leader who delivers, this is a genuine path to long-term equity participation and the chance to head up a standalone business unit.
Key Responsibilities:
Sales & Strategic Growth
* Systematically convert a high-volume pipeline of 350 warm leads into active service contracts.
* Proactively hunt for new opportunities through cold outreach, professional networking, and strategic relationship management.
* Target and secure contracts across key verticals, including education (schools/colleges), commercial real estate, and public sector estates.
* Develop and maintain a robust pipeline of recurring revenue through long-term window cleaning agreements.
* Lead the end-to-end sales process, from initial contact to negotiating and closing profitable service level agreements (SLAs).
* Foster lasting partnerships with key decision-makers, including Caretakers, Site Managers, and Facilities Management teams.
Business Leadership & Operations
* Take full ownership of the window cleaning division, evolving it into a high-performing, standalone business unit.
* Collaborate directly with the Managing Director to define and execute the commercial strategy and long-term vision.
* Build out the operational infrastructure and capability as the contract portfolio expands.
* Recruit, mentor, and lead operational teams to ensure regional coverage and service excellence.
* Drive commercial performance against revenue targets and growth KPIs.
The successful candidate will have:
We are seeking a commercially minded "builder" who thrives on autonomy and results. This role is perfect for you if:
* A natural instinct for identifying opportunities and the tenacity to see them through to a signed contract.
* Ability to navigate various levels of an organisation, from onsite staff to executive management.
* The confidence to operate without a script, making informed decisions to drive the business forward.
* The motivation to build a business from the ground up and the drive to take full ownership of the outcome
* Previous experience in the window cleaning or facilities industry is a plus but not a requirement.
Benefits:
Our client offers a competitive salary and an excellent benefits package designed to support both professional development and personal wellbeing, including:
* An additional day of annual leave to celebrate your birthday!
* Free access to an extensive E-Learning Platform (40+ courses) to support ongoing career growth.
* Access to an online Wellbeing platform to promote health and balance.
* A paid volunteering day annually to support a cause of your choice.
* Participation in the 'Above & Beyond' Reward Scheme for outstanding performance.
* A comprehensive death in service policy.
