Job Position: Business Development Manager

Job Location: Lagos

Role Summary

• This is a field-first, hunter role for someone who thrives on winning new business, not managing from behind a desk.
• You’ll take full ownership of business development — identifying opportunities, building relationships, and closing deals — while laying the groundwork for a sales team as the function grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities across architects, developers, contractors, corporate and residential clients
• Take full charge of the sales function — from prospecting to closing — with minimal need for oversight
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, referral partners, and industry stakeholders
• Represent the company at site visits, client meetings, and industry events (largely field-based work)
• Track pipeline and sales activity, and report on progress against targets
• Lay the foundation for a future sales team, including process and structure, as the business scales

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field
• 5-10 years of experience in sales, business development, or a related field
• Demonstrated passion for sales and a proven track record of winning and closing business
• Self-starter who can operate independently and take ownership of results
• Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
• Comfortable with a field-based, target-driven role
• Experience in furniture, interiors, construction, or building materials is an added advantage, but not required.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive fixed salary plus commission on sales
• Genuine ownership of the sales function with room to shape and grow it
• Opportunity to build and eventually lead a sales team.
