About the Role
At Libre Solutions, we take our work seriously, delivering high-calibre architectural design and planning consultancy services across a diverse portfolio of developments. But while we take our projects, precision, and standards seriously, we pride ourselves on a culture that is collaborative, dynamic, and grounded.
Are you a proactive, commercially-minded professional looking to take the next step in your sales career? Libre Solutions is growing, and we are looking for a dynamic Area Sales Manager to join our team in Colchester.
In this hands-on, high-impact role, you will bridge the gap between business development and account management. You’ll be responsible for nurturing existing client relationships, driving new business opportunities, and managing job enquiries from initial contact right through to instruction.
Working on-site alongside our existing sales team and internal Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), you will play a key role in shaping how we expand our footprint and reach new clients.
We offer a strong commission structure which should net the right candidate £60,000 OTE, with excellent growth opportunities as well.
Key Responsibilities
- Relationship & Account Management: Liaise with new and existing clients, building trust and maintaining strong ongoing relationships.
- Pipeline Management: Manage incoming job enquiries seamlessly from initial touchpoint until the project is formally instructed.
- Business Development: Proactively identify, pitch, and secure new client opportunities through creative outreach and networking.
- Collaborative Working: Partner closely with internal technical SMEs and the wider sales team to deliver tailored, winning solutions to clients.
- Market Expansion: Formulate and execute fresh ideas to leverage your own network and tap into new market opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking an ambitious, high-energy candidate who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Experience & Background
- Minimum 2–3 years of experience in B2B sales, account management, or business development.
- Industry Knowledge: Background or deep understanding within Construction, Architectural services, Planning Consultancy, or Estate Agency is highly desirable.
- Commercially-minded Town Planners or built-environment professionals looking to transition into a commercially driven role are strongly encouraged to apply!
Core Skills
- Communication: Exceptional written and spoken English, with the ability to build rapport effortlessly both over the phone and face-to-face.
- Networker Mindset: A clear vision for how to leverage industry contacts and build a thriving sales network from scratch.
- Adaptability: A dynamic, fast-paced approach with a willingness to pitch in across different business areas when needed.
Culture & Personality Fit
- Proactive & Resilient: Calm under pressure, self-motivated, and driven by results.
- Team-First Mindset: Friendly, thoughtful, collaborative, with a great sense of humour.
- Ambition: Eager to learn, adapt, and grow alongside a dynamic and expanding business.
