Are you a relationship-driven Business Development professional who thrives on getting in early and winning trust before a brief is even written? We're looking for a BDM to drive growth for a well-established commercial fitout and workplace strategy firm with a track record spanning three decades.

About the Company

This firm pairs deep workplace strategy expertise with in-house design and delivery capability, giving clients a genuinely integrated path from strategic advice through to a finished fitout. It has built a reputation as a trusted advisor across the commercial property sector, not just a contractor bidding on tenders.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain a high-value network of tenant representatives, leasing agents, landlords and corporate real estate contacts
  • Develop direct relationships with end-user clients, understanding what's driving their workplace decisions, lease expiry, headcount growth, culture change, hybrid working resets
  • Identify and qualify fitout opportunities early, managing a pipeline from first conversation through to tender and appointment
  • Lead the preparation and delivery of pitches and proposals, translating client needs into a compelling value proposition
  • Represent the firm at industry events and property networks to build visibility and market presence
  • Contribute to the firm's brand and digital presence (LinkedIn, website content) as part of the broader BD effort
Ideal Candidate:
  • Demonstrated BDM success in commercial property, interiors, fitout or construction
  • A natural connector who understands how commercial property decisions get made and who the key influencers are
  • Confident using strategic insight, not just relationships 
  • Self-starter comfortable with autonomy, pipeline ownership and revenue accountability
What's on Offer:
  • Great salary on offer depending on experience + commission structure
  • The backing of an integrated strategy, design and delivery team
  • Exposure to high-profile workplace projects across corporate and commercial sectors
