Are you confident picking up the phone, building relationships and turning conversations into commercial opportunities?

We're looking for a driven and ambitious Business Development Executive to join a growing specialist consultancy, helping organisations across the UK win new business and secure valuable contracts.

This is an opportunity for someone with experience in sales or business development who wants more ownership, greater earning potential and the chance to make a real impact.

If you enjoy winning new business, building relationships and seeing the rewards of your hard work, this could be the role for you.

What's the role?

You'll have a varied role combining new business development with account management, giving you the opportunity to win new clients and grow existing relationships.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively contacting potential clients through calls, emails, LinkedIn and other channels.

• Researching businesses, identifying decision-makers and creating opportunities from scratch.

• Understanding clients' needs and showing them how specialist consultancy services can help their business.

• Building on established relationships, identifying new opportunities and increasing revenue.

• Exploring opportunities for ongoing consultancy and repeat business.

• Helping the business reach new sectors and expand its client base.

• Managing your pipeline, working towards revenue targets and taking responsibility for your performance.

You'll work closely with the wider team to turn opportunities into successful client relationships, with plenty of scope to contribute ideas and shape your own approach.

What's in it for you?

• £33,000 basic salary

• £45,000–£50,000 OTE with uncapped commission

• The opportunity to increase your earnings through strong individual performance

• A mix of new business development and account growth

• The autonomy to build your own pipeline and develop your own client relationships

• Exposure to a range of industries and commercial opportunities

• Manchester-based working with a hybrid arrangement

The commission structure rewards performance, with additional incentives linked to winning new clients, developing strategic sectors and securing recurring-revenue opportunities.

What are we looking for?

We're interested in people who are commercially minded, motivated and keen to develop their sales career.

You might already be working in a B2B sales, business development or account management role and be ready for a position where you can take more ownership of your results.

You'll ideally have:

• Some experience in B2B sales or business development

• Confidence making outbound calls and approaching new prospects

• Experience building relationships and identifying commercial opportunities

• A proactive attitude and the resilience to keep going when a sale takes time

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• The organisation to manage a pipeline and keep opportunities moving

• A genuine interest in winning business and increasing your earning potential

Experience selling professional services would be useful, but it's not essential.

We're more interested in your attitude, commercial instinct and ability to build relationships than whether you've worked in a particular sector.

What does success look like?

You'll build a strong pipeline, win new clients, develop existing accounts and consistently work towards your revenue targets.

You'll have the opportunity to make a visible contribution to the business while developing your commercial skills and increasing your earnings as you grow.

Interested?

If you're ready for a new challenge where your initiative, effort and results can make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
