Job Description
Business Development Manager
Are you a true new business hunter who thrives on opening doors, winning strategic accounts and building long-term commercial relationships?
Our client is a successful and growing international business operating within specialist manufacturing and wholesale markets. Due to continued expansion, they are looking to appoint an ambitious Business Development Manager to identify, win and develop new business opportunities across the UK and international markets.
This is a rare opportunity to join a financially stable, privately owned organisation where you'll work closely with senior leadership, have genuine autonomy, and play a key role in shaping the future growth of the business.
Although our client is based in Peterborough this role will primarily be hybrid.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll take ownership of identifying, developing and securing new business opportunities, focusing on high-value strategic accounts.
This is a role for someone who enjoys building something from the ground up. Rather than inheriting a portfolio, you'll be responsible for creating new opportunities, developing relationships with key decision-makers and converting prospects into long-term commercial partnerships.
You'll also play an important role in identifying new markets, influencing business strategy and working alongside marketing to drive lead generation and brand awareness.
Key Responsibilities but not limited to
Develop and implement a proactive new business strategy.
Identify, qualify and convert new commercial opportunities.
Build and manage a robust sales pipeline using CRM.
Research markets, competitors and emerging opportunities.
Generate leads through networking, prospecting, campaigns and events.
Attend customer meetings, trade shows and industry exhibitions.
Deliver compelling presentations and commercial proposals.
Work collaboratively with internal teams to maximise opportunities.
Consistently achieve and exceed revenue and gross margin targets.
About You
We're looking for an ambitious, commercially focused Business Development professional with a genuine passion for winning new business.
You'll ideally bring:
A proven track record in B2B new business development.
Experience building and converting sales pipelines.
Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills.
A strategic and commercially minded approach.
Experience using CRM systems and sales reporting.
Excellent communication and presentation skills.
A proactive, self-motivated attitude with the ability to work independently.
The ambition to help shape and grow a successful commercial function.
Experience within wholesale, manufacturing, ingredients, food, chemicals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or other technical B2B sectors would be advantageous, although candidates from other consultative sales backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a growing business where you'll have the freedom to shape your own success. You'll work closely with senior leadership, have real influence over commercial strategy and be rewarded for delivering results.
If you're an experienced Business Development Manager looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
