Job Description

Role Overview

This is a field-facing sales role for a supplier of ceiling moulding products, where you will spend your time finding the contractors, developers, architects and interior specialists who need these products and turning that interest into orders. You will own the conversation from first contact through to quotation and follow-up, working across live construction, renovation and interior finishing projects rather than sitting behind a desk. Because the business is still building its market presence, your ability to open doors, stay persistent and feed back what you learn from customers directly shapes where it grows next.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prospect for new customers continuously — generate, qualify and nurture leads, and keep each opportunity moving forward with disciplined follow-up.
  • Meet prospective clients in person to understand the scope and requirements of their ceiling, interior finishing, renovation or construction work, and match the right moulding products to those needs.
  • Deliver client presentations and product demonstrations, and attend site visits where useful, to explain how the products perform, where they can be applied and the value they bring.
  • Prepare quotations and supporting sales documentation covering product specifications and pricing, then chase them through to a decision.
  • Track upcoming construction, renovation and interior finishing projects in the market and actively position the company's ceiling moulding range to supply them.
  • Report regularly on sales activity, pipeline status, customer feedback, competitor movements and new market opportunities.
  • Build and maintain relationships with contractors, developers, architects and other industry stakeholders so the company stays visible on future projects.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Sales & Marketing, Business Administration or a comparable discipline.
  • Demonstrated ability to prospect new customers, develop business relationships and follow up on opportunities until they close.
  • A working understanding of the construction and building materials market, and the confidence to engage contractors, developers, architects and related stakeholders.
  • Strong spoken and written communication skills, including comfort running client meetings, presentations and site visits.
  • Self-driven, organised and persistent, with a clear focus on hitting targets and the flexibility to adapt as a start-up's priorities shift.

What We Offer / Why Join

  • A hands-on commercial role in a start-up setting, where you deal directly with clients and see the results of your own effort.
  • Exposure to a broad mix of construction, renovation and interior finishing projects, and to the decision-makers behind them.
  • Room to shape how the product range is positioned in the market, with your customer and competitor insights feeding directly into that work.
