Are you an experienced Account Manager, Business Development Manager or Client Relationship Manager with a background in the public sector or built environment?

Are you looking for an opportunity to utilise your commercial and relationship management experience within an organisation that is making a genuine difference to communities across Wales?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established, not-for-profit organisation that plays a key role in supporting public sector construction, housing and infrastructure projects across Wales.

Working as part of a close-knit regional team, you will take responsibility for managing an established portfolio of clients, strengthening existing relationships and progressing a pipeline of opportunities.

You will also gain valuable exposure to wider initiatives involving SME development, social value, skills development and strategic partnerships, making this an excellent opportunity to broaden your experience beyond conventional account management.

The ideal candidate will have a background in account management, business development or client relationship management, alongside experience within either the public sector or built environment. You will be commercially minded, confident managing client relationships and capable of identifying and progressing business opportunities. Experience within construction, housing, asset management or public sector services would be advantageous. You must be based in Wales, hold a full UK driving licence and be comfortable travelling to clients across the region.
