Specification Sales Manager

We are recruiting for a client who, following a major recent investment, is looking for a technical expert to lead a newly created division. This is a "blank page" opportunity: you will have the freedom to build the specification strategy from the ground up, placing structural products at the centre of UK house design for this -40m manufacturer.

The Role: Technical Influence & Design

This is a senior technical role focused on the design stage of housing projects. You will be influential in changing how the industry builds.

• Strategic Specification: Get the client''s products included in the standard designs of National Housebuilders and Engineering firms.
• Industry Voice: Lead technical CPD sessions and Roundtables with key groups, including the NHBC, Homebond, and major architects.
• Design Support: Act as the technical link between R&D and design teams, making sure new products solve real-world building problems.
• Market Research: Look for "pain points" on-site and in design offices to find new business opportunities.

The Professional Profile

We are looking for someone with deep experience in the residential design world who is as comfortable with a technical drawing as they are in a meeting with directors.

• Technical Knowledge: You have a clear understanding of house design, building methods, and how decisions are made during the design stage.
• Industry Contacts: You already know the key decision-makers within National Housebuilders and Architectural firms.
• Clear Communicator: You are confident giving technical presentations and leading discussions with industry bodies like the NHBC.
• Proactive Approach: You are excited by a new role where you can set the strategy and help a -40m business grow.

Why This Role?

• Freedom to Build: You aren''t just following a routine; you are creating the plan for the client''s new division.
• Stable Growth: Work with a successful -40m company that is actively reinvesting in its future.
• Strong Compensation: A salary of circa -60,000 and a top-tier 11% pension.
• Work-Life Balance: This is a fully home-based role, offering the flexibility and autonomy to manage your own schedule.
