Job Title: Business Development Manager

Location: Lagos

Role Summary

  • This is a field-first, hunter role for someone who thrives on winning new business, not managing from behind a desk.
  • You’ll take full ownership of business development — identifying opportunities, building relationships, and closing deals — while laying the groundwork for a sales team as the function grows.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities across architects, developers, contractors, corporate and residential clients
  • Take full charge of the sales function — from prospecting to closing — with minimal need for oversight
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, referral partners, and industry stakeholders
  • Represent the company at site visits, client meetings, and industry events (largely field-based work)
  • Track pipeline and sales activity, and report on progress against targets
  • Lay the foundation for a future sales team, including process and structure, as the business scales

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field
  • 5-10 years’ experience in sales, business development, or a related field
  • Demonstrated passion for sales and a proven track record of winning and closing business
  • Self-starter who can operate independently and take ownership of results
  • Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and communication skills
  • Comfortable with a field-based, target-driven role
  • Experience in furniture, interiors, construction, or building materials is an added advantage, but not required.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive fixed salary plus commission on sales
  • Genuine ownership of the sales function with room to shape and grow it
  • Opportunity to build and eventually lead a sales team.

Questions about applying

They see your structured profile as it stands at the moment you apply, plus your CV if you have one attached. That snapshot is frozen - if you edit your profile next week, this application still shows what you sent today. Your salary expectation is never sent unless you choose to include it.
Yes. The match figure is for you, not for them - Strivo Labs does not see it. The apply button works the same regardless of your match percentage.
Because boards rewrite titles when they republish. All copies of this vacancy are the same job at the same employer with the same closing date. We show the employer's own wording and list the rest above so you know you have already seen it.
It appears in your application tracker straight away. Because this application is handled here rather than on an external site, you will see the status change as Strivo Labs moves it - viewed, shortlisted, interviewing or declined. Roles that redirect to an employer's own site cannot be tracked that way, and we say so on those listings.
This employer has not yet been checked against the corporate register. Regardless of any of that, no employer on this platform may ask you for money at any stage. If this one does, report it and tell us what they asked for.
