Project Business Developer – Commercial & Residential Market (all genders)

Description

Do you enjoy smart living and building automation, and do you already have a solid contact base among architects, developers and contractors in residential and commercial construction? Can you land projects before the design is settled?

The company is a global leader in automated control systems, specialising in motorized solutions for blinds, shutters and awnings. It is a family-owned French firm with 50 years of innovation and a presence in more than 60 countries.

This Hungary-based role mixes new business hunting with ownership of projects over their full life. You will win commercial and residential projects and get the company's solutions specified during design, then stay with each project from start to finish, working with client stakeholders and the company's internal teams. You will set up and run client meetings with architects, developers and contractors to present the solutions and build lasting partnerships.

• Advise on technical and commercial matters during design and planning, showing the value for energy performance, comfort and smart building integration.
• Own the full project cycle, from prospecting and specification through negotiation to follow-up, and support the partner manufacturers who carry out the work.
• Work with Sales, Key Account Managers, Technical Support and Marketing to turn specifications into orders.
• Represent the company at trade shows and industry events, and run training sessions and presentations for project parties.

Requirements
