Role Description
We are on the hunt for a Director of Client Development to join our Portsmouth-based team, serving the construction industry with top‑tier IT systems and payroll solutions. We need someone who lives for building relationships, thrives on networking, and is ready to hustle seven days a week to grow our client base. This isn't just a job – it's a chance to shine as the entrepreneurial force driving our success! Are you ready to make noise across the UK?
They say the early bird catches the worm, we need someone ready to dive in with full commitment to build this into a thriving team. You will start by leveraging your existing senior relationships in the construction sector to introduce our services and generate profit quickly. That profit will fund hiring your first team member to create an A‑player squad, with plans to scale and replicate. This is a full‑time, entrepreneurial role where you will hit the phones, network across construction sites, present to senior board level directors, attend networking sporting events, and occasionally stay over for late nights after a few drinks. Confidence, a proven sales track record in construction, and solid industry connections are a must.

Decision Making
Politically aware, you are normally comfortable with your decisions even in the face of possible conflict with others in more senior positions. You will tend to be concerned with the effect that the decision‑making process, and its result, will have on others. In decision‑making you may prefer to apologise for exceeding your authority rather than getting permission in the first place. You are seen by many as a natural leader and decision maker. You value truth above all else and are primarily convinced by logical reasoning. You have a tendency to think “out loud”, enabling others to follow your line of thinking. Internally motivated to achieve, you are a hard worker, who whilst being prepared to listen to, and be aware of others, will invariably go it alone if all else fails. You like to convert everything into possibilities, ideas, plans, and schemes and your initiative and imagination lead you to start many new projects. You can usually get to the heart of any situation and implement an effective solution. You tend to be influenced by the idea, rather than the people behind the idea.
You are self‑reliant and are not frightened to take “the path of maximum resistance” in your efforts to produce the best results. Your effectiveness depends on how much personal fulfilment you receive from the current task. If something does not seem rational, you run the risk of dismissing it out of hand, even if it is a critical issue. “Do it now” is your motto. Impatient with what you may see as inefficiency and incompetence, you can take tough decisions when the situation calls for it.
