Want to be part of building the future of timber construction together with Sweden's largest family-owned timber industry?
At Derome, we don't just build houses. We build long-term relationships, strong and profitable businesses, and a more sustainable society. The Business Development Manager role is for you if you're driven by creating new business opportunities, building relationships, and finding the next opportunity before competitors do. In other words, we're not looking for someone waiting for the phone to ring—we're looking for you, someone who's out in the market, meeting people, building networks, finding opportunities, and driving deals from initial contact all the way to signed agreement.
About the Role
As Business Development Manager, you're responsible for identifying, developing, and establishing new business opportunities.
You actively work with construction companies, contractors, property developers, investors, and other players in the construction sector. Your focus is on building relationships, creating trust, and developing business that contributes to our continued growth.
The role offers great freedom and significant personal responsibility. You're expected to be out in the market where business happens, rather than behind a desk.
Who You Are
You're someone people enjoy doing business with.
You're social, driven, and thrive in environments where relationships and business go hand in hand. At the same time, you're structured enough not just to start new opportunities but also to drive them to completion. You have strong internal drive, see opportunities where others see obstacles, and are motivated by creating results.
We believe you'll succeed in this role if you:
Have several years of experience in sales, business development, or contract work within the construction industry or related fields.
Have well-developed business acumen and a good understanding of how profitable business is created.
Are networked, relationship-focused, and enjoy representing the company in various contexts.
Have documented experience identifying, developing, and winning new business.
Are skilled at negotiating, building trust, and driving business processes forward.
Are self-driven and take responsibility for your results.
Enjoy being out with customers, partners, and at industry events.
Have the perseverance to follow up, drive processes, and see deals through to completion.

We believe in people who want to develop, take responsibility, and be part of building something bigger than themselves. We also know that the best results are created together.
Because we don't just build houses—we build the future.
