Competitive Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission
High-Growth Opportunity | Industry-Respected Business | Long-Term Career Potential

Are you a commercially driven relationship builder who thrives on winning new business, influencing senior decision-makers, and delivering consultative solutions rather than transactional sales?

We’re looking for an ambitious, high-performing Corporate Account Business Development Manager to join a highly respected training provider with an outstanding reputation across technical, management and business skills development.

This is not a volume-sales role. It’s about building credibility with senior stakeholders, understanding complex business challenges, and creating tailored learning solutions that genuinely add value.

We are particularly interested in speaking with individuals from either:

A B2B training or learning solutions sales background
OR
Recruitment professionals who have experience engaging senior stakeholders, developing new business, managing complex sales cycles, and operating in a highly target-driven environment. If you’re naturally consultative, commercially astute, and motivated by high reward and long-term career growth, this could be the perfect next step.
You’ll play a key role in driving revenue growth through both new client acquisition and development of existing accounts, working with organisations across a wide range of industries in the UK and internationally.
This is a role for someone with a true hunter mentality -  someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities, and building lasting commercial partnerships.

You will:

Develop and grow a strong pipeline of corporate opportunities

Build relationships across complex organisations with multiple stakeholders
Identify client challenges and provide strategic, solution-led recommendations
Work closely with subject matter experts and internal teams to deliver outstanding client solutions
Attend client meetings across the UK and overseas when required
Contribute ideas, market insight, and commercial strategy to support continued business growth We’re less interested in industry labels and more interested in mindset, credibility, and commercial capability.

You may already work within training sales, L&D solutions, or corporate development — or you could come from a recruitment background where you’ve built strong client relationships, influenced senior stakeholders, and consistently exceeded targets.
You’ll likely have:

A proven track record in B2B sales and business development
Experience selling consultative or solution-led services
Confidence communicating with senior leadership teams and C-level executives
Strong pipeline generation and outbound business development skills
A resilient, self-motivated, and proactive approach
The ability to navigate complex sales processes and negotiate effectively
A commercially driven mindset with a genuine passion for building relationships This is an opportunity to become part of an established and highly respected organisation with genuine longevity, an excellent market reputation, and ambitious growth plans.

In return, you’ll benefit from:

Uncapped earning potential
A supportive and collaborative environment
The opportunity to work with recognised industry experts
Career stability and long-term progression opportunities
Exposure to international clients and projects
A role where your success and contribution will genuinely be recognised and rewarded If you’re looking for a role where you can combine relationship-led sales with commercial impact -  and want to be part of a business known for quality, professionalism, and long-term success -  we’d love to hear from you.

This role is based in West Sussex and will require office presence - 2-3 days a week.  If this is not suitable for you, please do not apply.
