Business Development Manager

You’ve built sales processes before. Now you want the freedom to take what you’ve learned, create something better and make it your own. As a Business Development Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how new clients are identified, approached, won and developed rather than simply inheriting an established way of doing things. 

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who knows how to build a sales approach from the ground up. Joining a rapidly expanding business, you’ll create and implement processes, establish effective ways of working and develop a strong pipeline while strengthening relationships with existing clients.

You won’t just be expected to follow a sales strategy – you’ll have a genuine influence over how it is built, implemented and improved. 

What’s in it for you

£45,000 - £50,000 per annum.

The chance to influence wider commercial strategy and work closely with teams across the organisation.
An opportunity to mentor colleagues and help establish stronger sales practices across the team.

What we’re looking for in a Business Development Manager

Direct, demonstrable experience of building and implementing sales processes, systems or ways of working from the ground up.
A proven track record of generating new clients, developing pipelines and managing the full sales cycle.

Strong client relationship, negotiation, proposal development and influencing skills, ideally gained within consultancy or professional services.
Experience mentoring, developing or providing sales guidance to colleagues.
