This is an opportunity for you to play a significant role in the UK’s decarbonisation strategy.

Collaborate on our future products and services that respond to our customer’s needs and incoming market changes.

Identify the various routes to market, taking control of the EE proposition and customer journey.

Manage one report (Business Development Manager) with clear objectives and task setting.

Work with the wider EE team to encourage a growth mindset and capitalise on any opportunities across our products and services.

You:
‘ll live and breathe our passion and hunger to drive forward real change in our industry. You’ll be excited to be involved in something new, and will take great pride in the direction and rate at which our business is set to grow.
Although this is a strategic role, you’ll need to be comfortable implementing your ideas. This means we’re open to considering candidates from all backgrounds, and not just those who have worked within the Construction and Building industry.
Required skills and competencies:

Demonstratable experience of delivering substantial growth within a commercial business.

Experience of propositional development and experience of taking new concepts to market.

Able to work at a strategic level, but yet also know how to implement that strategy.

Possess a proactive work ethic and be able to inspire those around you.
