This isn’t just another senior sales role. This is the seat at the table where the future of Social Housing at Travis Perkins gets defined, and you’d be the one defining it.

The opportunity

Social Housing is changing fast. Decarbonisation, RetroFit, Modern Methods of Construction, the conversations our customers are having today look nothing like the ones they were having five years ago. As Business Development Director for Social Housing you’ll lead our external offer into a market that’s wide open for the partner who can speak its language fluently.

You’ll own the strategy that grows our market share, the relationships that win and retain the contracts, and the proposition that makes Travis Perkins Managed Services the obvious choice when a Housing Association is deciding who to back.

What you’ll be doing

Leading from the front of our Managed Services Leadership Team and reporting to our Managing Director, Rosie Wise, you’ll be the voice of the customer in every strategic decision we make. You’ll head up a team of a total of 15+ across Business Development, Bids, Marketing, Proposition Development and Continuous Improvement whilst working closely with a variety of teams across the business. 

Day to day, this means:

• Defining and executing the sales strategy for both sectors, with clear, measurable plans for growth

• Owning the strategic relationships with the major Social Housing Procurement Frameworks, making sure we’re engaged where it matters, at the level it matters

• Running the new business pipeline with the rigour that turns insight into won deals

• Shaping our Marketing strategy and the external perception of the Managed Services brand

• Owning the Managed Services Innovation pipeline alongside our Digital and Technology partners

• Coaching, developing and stretching a team that already knows its market, and helping them know it even better

Who we’re looking for

• Commercial instincts – you make profitable decisions and you can defend them

• A strong background in bids and tenders with Social Housing providers is desirable, but we’re equally interested in people who’ve led winning bid responses in other sectors and can apply that rigour here

• Strategic communication that lands with the right people at the right level

• Genuine customer centricity, not the poster-on-the-wall version

• Influence, negotiation, and the kind of listening that actually changes the room

• The strongest candidates will also bring building materials sector experience, ideally with a Social Housing lens and a feel for how public sector procurement frameworks really work

• We’re looking for someone who can see the big picture and get into the detail. Down to earth, credible, driven. The kind of leader who instils trust on day one and brings the right people together to make things happen.

Why Travis Perkins Managed Services

Managed Services is one of the most strategically important growth areas in the Travis Perkins Group. You’d be helping shape it, not slotting into something already built. The role carries weight across the entire group, real budget, real autonomy, and a clear line of sight to the markets that are going to define UK construction for the next decade.

If you’re ready to lead from the front in a sector that’s actually going somewhere, we’d love to talk.

Travis Perkins is the UK’s largest distributor of building materials, supplying the trade for over 200 years. Behind every great project is a great range, and behind every great range is a Category Manager who knows their market inside out. That’s where you come in.

The role

We’re looking for a Category Manager to join our Commercial team, taking ownership of a category that drives £100m+ in sales. Working alongside the Senior Category Manager, you’ll shape and deliver a category strategy that puts our customers first and keeps Travis Perkins ahead of the market.

This is a role for someone who thrives on commercial impact, building the right range, negotiating sharp deals with suppliers, and making decisions that move the needle on sales, margin and market share.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and executing a customer-focused category strategy aligned to our plan

• Owning category plans informed by customer insight, market trends and competitor activity

• Curating a product range that nails the balance between quality and value

• Negotiating supplier trading terms to deliver margin improvements

• Partnering with branch teams, marketing, pricing and space planning to bring commercial projects to life

• Hitting your sales and margin budget, and building action plans when trading shifts

• Managing supplier performance and keeping availability strong while controlling slow, dead and exit stock

What we’re looking for

• Experience in category management or a similar commercial role, with a track record of developing and delivering category strategy

• Strong negotiation skills and supplier management experience

• Sharp analytical mind with genuine commercial acumen

• Confident communicator who can influence and persuade across functions

• Customer-focused, comfortable working at pace and taking ownership

• Degree level or equivalent work experience; CIPS qualification a bonus

• Knowledge of the building industry, its suppliers, products and competitors, is a real advantage

What’s in it for you

You’ll join a Commercial team that takes its customers, its suppliers and its category strategy seriously, but doesn’t take itself too seriously. You’ll have real budget responsibility, the autonomy to shape your category, and the support to grow your career in one of the UK’s most established trade businesses.
