Business Development Executive
Salary: £30,000 basic + commission
Hours: Monday - Friday  9am - 5pm
Location: Hybrid / Remote (initial training in Bishop's Stortford)

 
We're working with a growing and highly dynamic business looking to bring in a driven Business Development Executive to join their commercial team.
 
This is a specialist role focused purely on generating high-quality opportunities — not closing deals. If you enjoy the front end of the sales process, thrive on outbound activity, and like seeing direct results from your efforts, this could be a really good fit.
 
The Role
 
This position sits at the heart of the sales function, responsible for building a strong pipeline of qualified prospects and booking appointments for senior team members.
 
You'll be identifying potential clients, engaging them through a mixture of cold outreach and targeted campaigns, and securing attendance for site visits and meetings.
It's a structured, high-activity role where consistency, organisation, and resilience are key.
 
What You'll Be Doing

  • Running targeted outbound campaigns (phone, email, LinkedIn)
  • Identifying and engaging with prospective B2B clients
  • Building and maintaining a strong pipeline of opportunities
  • Booking qualified meetings and site visits
  • Using CRM systems and sales tools to manage outreach and follow-ups
  • Researching and targeting high-potential businesses
  • Supporting overall pipeline growth and commercial performance

What We're Looking For

  • 1-3 years' experience in sales, business development, or lead generation
  • Confident communicator, comfortable with high-volume outreach
  • Proven ability to generate leads, meetings, or opportunities
  • Resilient, proactive, and self-motivated
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in a target-driven environment
  • Strong commercial awareness and a results-focused mindset
  • Experience within B2B environments is important

Package & Working Setup

  • £30,000 basic + Commission
  • Initial onboarding period (approx. 1 month) in Bishop's Stortford
  • Hybrid / remote working thereafter, with regular in-person meetings
