JOB DESCRIPTION

Title:

Business Development Manager

The Role

Following a strategic refresh, Estates Intelligence has rebranded its client-facing services into a compelling market proposition. To drive future growth, we are seeking a Business Development Manager to identify new opportunities, lead framework and tender bids, strengthen key relationships, and secure new business.

KBR’s Estates Intelligence is a leading force in public sector FM Assurance, providing cutting-edge technical platforms and professional services. We support central government and specialist departmental estates in effectively managing their portfolios and supply chains.

Location

This role offers a hybrid working setup, combining office-based work at either our Leatherhead or Swindon location, regular client visits primarily in London, and the flexibility to work from home.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and pursue business opportunities aligned with our BD strategy and priority sectors.

  • Conduct market research and analyse trends to inform growth strategies.

  • Initiate client engagement, understand their needs, and align solutions from the VIAverse service catalogue.

  • Effectively communicate technical concepts and solutions to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clarity and impact.

  • Work closely with subject matter experts to develop tailored proposals.

  • Oversee the transition of secured business opportunities to operational teams.

  • Establish strong relationships with critical stakeholders, developing engagement methods and leads.

  • Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) on Estates Intelligence methodology and technology, effectively representing KBR externally.

  • Leverage deep technical understanding to position Estates Intelligence offerings as market-leading solutions.

  • Confidently engage in technical discussions, translating complex ideas into clear, compelling business cases that drive client adoption.

  • Build and maintain a robust network across clients and partners, proactively identifying growth opportunities.

Reporting & Accountability

The Business Development Manager reports to the Real Estates Director and is responsible for:

  • Developing the business development strategy, identifying markets, stakeholders, frameworks, and initiatives

  • Establishing and nurturing a strong stakeholder network through personal connections and initiatives

  • Providing insights into market trends and competitor activity within the FM Assurance sector

  • Positioning KBR’s Estates Intelligence team ahead of tender opportunities and actively tracking leads

  • Converting opportunities into successful contract wins and driving overall team growth

  • Drafting compelling sales materials and supporting marketing efforts as needed

Technical Skills

  • Business Development & Sales Strategy – Expertise in identifying and pursuing growth opportunities, crafting business strategies, and converting leads into successful contracts.

  • Market Research & Data Analysis – Ability to conduct research, analyse trends, and interpret competitor activity to inform strategic decisions.

  • Stakeholder Engagement & Relationship Management – Strong networking skills to establish and nurture connections with key industry players and partners.

  • Strong technological proficiency—someone who is technically minded and comfortable navigating digital tools and platforms, but not necessarily an IT specialist.

  • Experience in facilities management, strategic asset planning, or estates management across diverse sectors would be advantageous.

What we Need

  • Demonstrated success in driving business growth by effectively converting opportunities into measurable results.

  • Proven ability to self-generate leads and identify new business opportunities.

  • Experience conducting business development for technology-driven solutions.

  • Experience working with a government supplier would be advantageous
