- Monitor competitor activity and emerging trends within the façade and rainscreen sector.
- Produce regular reports on specification activity, project conversion rates and regional performance.
- Contribute to strategic planning for business growth within the Northern region.
- Proven experience in a Specification Manager, Technical Sales or Business Development role within the façade, rainscreen cladding or building envelope industry.

- Familiarity with fire regulations, building envelope performance and installation principles.
- Confident user of CRM and Microsoft Office tools.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the North of England.
- Established network of architects, façade consultants and contractors within the Northern UK market.
