The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established manufacturing business at an important stage of growth, with the opportunity to play a key role in identifying and developing new markets.

The primary focus of the role will be responsible for researching the market, identifying target customers, engaging decision-makers and testing the commercial potential of the opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

Research and map the Roofing market, identifying priority sectors, customer types, geographic opportunities, competitors and routes to market.
Build a structured database of target organisations and key decision-makers.
Engage with potential customers and influencers to understand current suppliers, product preferences, buying criteria, pricing expectations, lead times and switching barriers.
Identify and qualify genuine commercial opportunities based on need, volume, product fit, decision process, timing and commercial viability.
Generate qualified meetings, product discussions, samples, trials and quotations.
Develop meaningful competitor intelligence, including products, pricing, service proposition, delivery expectations and customer perceptions.
Work closely with Sales, Marketing, Technical, Purchasing and Operations to identify product, technical, certification, supply or service gaps.
Develop an understanding of achievable selling prices and margins across different customer types and routes to market.
Maintain an accurate, evidence-based CRM pipeline, clearly distinguishing research contacts from genuine qualified opportunities.
Provide regular market feedback to management, highlighting what is converting, what isn't and what may need to change.
Where the proposition is validated, help transition the opportunity from market research into repeatable prospecting and opportunity generation.
What We're Looking For

Strong B2B business development or prospecting experience.
Confidence engaging with contractors, merchants, business owners and technical or commercial decision-makers.
The ability to ask direct questions around volumes, pricing, suppliers, margins, buying criteria and switching decisions.
Strong commercial judgement and the ability to distinguish genuine opportunities from interesting conversations.
Excellent research, organisation and follow-up skills.
Strong CRM discipline and an evidence-led approach to pipeline management.
The ability to identify patterns in market feedback and turn them into practical recommendations.
A collaborative approach, with the confidence to work across Sales, Marketing, Technical, Purchasing and Operations.
Experience within roofing, construction products, agricultural/commercial building products, merchants or new-market development would be advantageous, but isn't essential.
