ROLE OVERVIEW\n

This is a newly created Commercial Director role in our Property Services division, spanning surveying, fire safety, risk and broader professional property services. You will not be selling a single technical discipline; instead, you will architect and run the commercial engine that helps our technical leaders win and deliver complex, multi-service solutions into sophisticated buyers across local authorities, public sector frameworks, developers and other institutional clients. You will bring commercial discipline to a business rich in technical credibility, translating that trust into scalable, repeatable growth. You will introduce rigour around CRM usage, bid governance, pipeline visibility and KPI reporting, while partnering closely with technical experts who currently hold senior client relationships. With no direct reports at the outset, you will operate with high autonomy to identify what the business really needs, implement the right tools and rhythms, and build the case for a team over time, working in step with a growing, central quoting and proposals capability that will leverage AI. You'll report to the CEO and CCO on commercial performance, help shape the future commercial structure across the group, and spend regular time in Scotland to build strong relationships with the leadership team. Scotland preferred; England considered for the right person.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME\n

\n
• Partnering with technical leaders on live pursuits, shaping win themes, pricing and bid strategy
\n
• Implementing CRM standards, pipeline stages and reporting dashboards that drive the right actions
\n
• Running a consistent bid governance cadence: qualification, approvals and risk reviews on major opportunities
\n
• Building proposals playbooks, reusable content and pricing models with the central quoting/proposals team
\n
• Creating simple, meaningful KPIs and monthly performance packs for the CEO and CCO
\n
• Mapping target frameworks, key accounts and routes to market, then building campaigns with measurable milestones
\n

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\n

\n
• A visible, trusted commercial rhythm is in place, forecast accuracy improves and surprises reduceComplex opportunities are qualified earlier, bid strategies sharpen, and win rates rise on target frameworks and key accounts
\n
• CRM adoption is embedded, with clean data and dashboards that leaders actually use
\n
• A light but effective bid governance model consistently improves margins and delivery handover
\n
• Revenue growth, margin improvement and commercial KPIs track to plan, with issues surfaced early
\n

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR\n

\n
• You're entrepreneurial and hands‑on, equally comfortable setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves
\n
• You balance commercial savvy with people skills, earning trust from senior technical stakeholders and complex clients
\n
• You thrive building from a low base, prioritising what matters and sequencing change sensibly
\n
• You see sales as a team sport, aligning delivery, commercial and technical inputs to win and keep great work
\n
• You prefer outcomes over theatre: lightweight processes that improve decisions, speed and margins
\n

EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS\n

\n
• Leading sales operations or commercial excellence in FM, engineering consultancy, outsourced services or technical consultancy
\n
• Selling multi‑service or consultancy solutions into local authorities, public sector frameworks and developers
\n
• Implementing CRM standards, pipeline governance and data‑led forecasting that leaders trust
\n
• Shaping bid strategies and approval processes on high‑value, multi‑stakeholder opportunities

ABOUT ODEVO UK\n

We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.

\n

Residential real estate is the world's largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.

\n

In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.

\n

By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.

\n

Our ambition is to continue our fast-growing journey through new customers, service expansion, and by partnering with great companies that share our mindset and ambition, both in existing and new markets.

\n

As we continue to grow, we stay true to who we are, challenge unnecessary bureaucracy, and keep decision‑making close to our customers.

\n

If you share our mindset and ambition, we'd love you to join us and help accelerate our mission together.

HOW WE HIRE\n

\n
• Initial conversation with our talent team
\n
• Interview focused on your approach to building commercial infrastructure, governing bids and partnering with technical leaders to win complex, multi‑stakeholder deals
\n

\n

We aim to complete the process within two to three weeks and communicate clearly throughout.
