We're working with a growing, commercially focused business looking to bring in an experienced Business Development Manager to join their small, collaborative sales team.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be managing a mix of warm leads and existing client relationships, with a real opportunity to make an impact quickly.

You'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities while also building on existing client relationships. This isn't a "sit back and wait" sales role — you'll need to be proactive, organised and confident picking up the phone.

- Following up warm leads and identifying new opportunities
- Building relationships through calls, emails and ongoing communication
- Preparing and sending your own quotes and proposals
- Managing the full sales process through to close
- Ensuring strong margins and commercially sound deals
- Keeping pipelines updated and reporting into the Sales Manager
What they're looking for
- Previous B2B sales experience (essential)
- Confident communicator — comfortable on the phone and via email
- Proactive, self-motivated and not afraid to get stuck in
- Strong relationship-building skills
- Commercial awareness (understanding pricing, margins, value)
- Organised with the ability to manage your own workload
- Full UK driving licence
The package
- £40,000 - £45,000 basic salary
- Uncapped OTE £50,000 - £55,000
- 28 days holiday (including bank holidays, with Christmas shutdown)
- Free parking
- Pension
- Supportive team environment with genuine opportunity to grow
