Business Development Manager – Facilities Management

I’m partnering with one of Ireland’s leading Facilities Management companies to recruit an ambitious, energetic, and commercially minded Business Development Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has significant operational FM experience-running large facilities or multi‑site portfolios across hard and soft services-and has transitioned into Business Development, Commercial, or Client Solutions.

This is not a “cold-calling, hard-sell” job. It’s about credibility, insight, and partnership-building, backed by real operational FM experience. If you love solving operational challenges, building strategic relationships, and uncovering new commercial opportunities, this role offers a genuine chance to make an impact.

This role can be performed from anywhere in Ireland, but please note: it will involve significant travel to current client sites and prospective customer locations nationwide.

  • Win new FM clients across pharma, healthcare, corporate, manufacturing, life sciences and more
  • Develop proposals grounded in operational reality and deliverable service models
  • Grow & Nurture Client Relationships – Strengthen and expand the existing client base
  • Identify opportunities for additional FM services, service expansion, and improved solutions
  • Become a trusted advisor to senior decision makers
  • Drive value, compliance, and efficiency across hard & soft FM
  • Bring Operational FM Expertise – Design realistic, competitive FM solutions using your operations background
  • Collaborate with operations, commercial, bid, and technical teams
  • Ensure proposals meet client needs, operational capability, compliance, and quality standards
  • Champion Excellence – Represent a company committed to being Ireland’s top FM service provider
  • Bring fresh thinking and innovation to the FM market
  • Support continuous improvement across service delivery and customer experience

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong operational Facilities Management experience across hard and soft FM services
  • Experience overseeing large facilities or multi‑unit FM operations
  • A proven move from FM operations into Business Development, Commercial, Account Management, or Client Solutions
  • Knowledge of FM delivery, cost models, risk, compliance, and client expectations
  • Ambitious, driven, and commercially astute
  • Excellent communicator with the ability to build trust quickly
  • Skilled at spotting upsell opportunities and identifying client needs
  • Confident in managing your own pipeline and working autonomously
  • Passionate about delivering best‑in‑class FM services

What’s in It for You?

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Strong benefits package
  • Nationwide flexibility (role can be based anywhere in Ireland)
  • Long-term career progression in a respected FM organisation
  • Supportive environment focused on growth, wellbeing, and development
  • Opportunity to shape major FM partnerships and work with major clients

If you have the drive, the operational FM experience, and the relationship‑building skills to match, this could be an ideal next step in your career. We’d love to hear from you – please apply today or reach out directly to Laura for a confidential conversation. 087 9004108
