Business Development Manager - Bespoke Interior Products
We are recruiting on behalf of a leading premium design-led brand within the exclusive interiors sector, specialising in beautifully crafted architectural and home fittings. This is a rare opportunity to represent a highly respected, design led product range trusted by architects and interior designers working at the top end of the market.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an articulate, confident and design savvy Business Development Manager to grow our client base across London. This role is focused on brand led selling, where the emphasis is placed on craftsmanship, features, design integrity and exclusivity rather than price. You will be equally comfortable building relationships over the phone and representing the brand face to face with architects, interior designers and high-end specification. A strong and consistent presence in London is essential, as the majority of client engagement will take place within the city.
Key Responsibilities
You will represent and promote a premium interiors brand to architects, interior designers and specifiers acting as a true ambassador for the brand at all times. The role involves building and nurturing long term relationships within the design and architecture community, proactively prospecting new clients and developing a strong London based network. You will take time to understand client briefs in detail and prepare accurate, tailored quotations and specifications, while driving sales growth and contributing to ambitious commercial targets.
About You
You will have proven experience in business development or sales within premium or luxury products, ideally coming from a design led sector such as KBB, lighting, fittings or furniture. You are a polished and articulate communicator who is confident both on the phone and in person. You are a natural brand salesperson who sells on quality, design and differentiation rather than price, with a strong ability to build trusted, long-term relationships. You are detail oriented, organised and commercially driven, with a self-motivated approach to achieving results and meeting ambitious targets.
Candidates from other sectors will be considered where the personal fit, sales approach and presentation style align strongly with a premium brand environment.
Location and Working Pattern
Candidates must be based within or just outside of London. As the majority of clients are London based, candidates must be happy to be predominantly in the city Monday to Friday, meeting clients and representing the brand in person.
What's on Offer
This role offers the opportunity to represent a respected, design led brand with international recognition, supported by a competitive basic salary and commission structure. You will be joining a fast-growing business with clear opportunities for personal and professional development, autonomy in your role and the chance to make a visible commercial impact.
