Job description
Director of Infrastructure Solutions - BNG
Wimborne or Woking - Flexible / Hybrid
£Competitive + Bonus
Looking for a sales leadership role in one of the UK's fastest-growing environmental markets?
Our client, Wild Capital, are a leading national provider of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) units, nutrient neutrality credits, and environmental offsets, and they're now investing in a senior commercial hire to lead their expansion into major infrastructure.
With upcoming regulatory changes bringing Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) into scope for BNG, this is a huge, untapped market opportunity, and they need someone who knows how to navigate it commercially and deliver a real ROI.
The Opportunity:
This is a front-foot, revenue-generating role where your ability to open doors, build trust, and close deals will define your success.
You'll lead Wild Capital's presence across the infrastructure sector, building relationships with Tier 1 contractors, developers, DCO applicants, and their advisors, and converting those into high-value commercial agreements.
If you've built a strong network across infrastructure and understand how projects are funded, procured, and delivered, this is your chance to leverage that knowledge in a new, high-growth market.
What you'll be doing:
Driving business development across NSIPs and major infrastructure (transport, energy, water, utilities)
Building and leveraging relationships with Tier 1 contractors, promoters, and advisory firms
Leading the negotiation of complex BNG and environmental offset deals
Acting as the face of Wild Capital within the infrastructure market
Shaping commercial strategy and identifying new routes to market
Collaborating with internal technical teams to deliver credible, commercially viable solutions
What We're Looking For:
This is a commercial hire first - not a technical one.
You'll bring:
A proven background in B2B sales / business development within infrastructure, construction, or related sectors
A strong network ("black book") across Tier 1 contractors, developers, or infrastructure stakeholders
A deep understanding of how infrastructure projects are structured, procured, and delivered
Experience negotiating and closing high-value, multi-stakeholder deals
The credibility to operate at senior / board level
Bonus points if you have:
Exposure to ecology, environmental consultancy, or planning
Knowledge of BNG, the Environment Act, or wider environmental markets
Why Join Wild Capital?
Own and build a new market vertical from the ground up
Join a business with real market credibility and a strong product offering
Be part of a sector being driven by legislation and long-term demand
Combine commercial success with genuine environmental impact
Benefit from a highly competitive package and performance bonus
Flexibility to work in a way that suits you
The Bottom Line
If you're a commercially driven infrastructure dealmaker with the network, credibility, and hunger to build something, this is a rare opportunity to step into a high-growth, high-impact market and make it your own - and help the planet at the same time.
