Head of Growth – Commercial Design & Build

• Job Type Full Time
• Qualification BA/BSc/HND , MBA/MSc/MA
• Experience
• Location Lagos
• Job Field Sales and Business Development

About the Opportunity

• A confidential client of Talentsquare is seeking an exceptional, industry-savvy growth leader to drive its next phase of market expansion, enterprise business development, and commercial fit-out pipeline volume.
• Our client specializes in full-scale workplace transformations, turnkey spatial fit-outs, and environmental branding—integrating creative architecture and design with complex technical execution (including MEP, partition systems, ELV & security solutions, and smart energy systems).
• This opportunity is designed for a commercially astute, entrepreneurial leader who knows how to navigate the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) ecosystem, engage C-suite decision-makers, and convert massive spatial project requirements into signed turnkey design-build contracts.
• This is not a conventional sales management position. We are looking for a highly credible operator from the commercial interiors, architecture, or construction services sector who can personally win major workspace projects while building a scalable pipeline system to sustain growth.
• The client’s identity and additional organizational information will be disclosed to shortlisted candidates at the appropriate stage of the selection process.

The Mandate:

Enterprise Project Acquisition and Pipeline Generation:

• Origination: Identify, target, and pitch massive corporate relocations, office consolidations, retail expansion plans, and asset repositioning projects.
• Ecosystem Networking: Map and aggressively network with commercial real estate brokers, property developers, project management consultancies (PMCs), and workplace strategy heads to secure early bidding seats.
• Deal Ownership: Lead opportunities through the entire design-build commercial lifecycle—from initial spatial discovery and RFP qualification to the final design pitch, contracting, and closure.
• Pipeline Visibility: Maintain absolute clarity over high-value fit-out bids, probability of award, project timelines, and margin expectations.

Commercial Strategy & Sector Development:

• Market Mapping: Identify high-growth corporate sectors (e.g., tech hubs, banking headquarters, co-working, retail brands) that require immediate spatial restructuring or modernization.
• Value Proposition: Translate our client’s technical and creative capabilities (from aesthetic spatial branding to MEP and renewable energy solutions) into high-impact pitches that sell productivity, safety, and brand value to tenants.
• Strategic Partnerships: Establish formal referral channels and joint-venture strategies with external architectural firms and commercial developers to scale project inflow.

Executive Engagement & Spatial Advisory:

• C-Suite Advisory: Act as a trusted advisor to Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), and Procurement Directors, steering their vision for workplace culture and real estate optimization.
• Deep Discovery: Lead sophisticated consultations that uncover long-term corporate real estate needs rather than just responding to basic technical tender lists.
• Account Expansion: Cultivate relationships with major co
