B2B | New Business | Consultative Sales | Full Sales Cycle

We’re working with an established and growing global B2B organisation looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to its expanding commercial team.

This is not an entry-level sales role. We’re looking for a proven new-business salesperson who is comfortable generating their own opportunities, managing a pipeline and, most importantly, closing deals.

The business has 1,000+ employees worldwide and an established, commercially proven proposition. Due to the nature of the company, we’re keeping its identity confidential at this stage.

You’ll be selling a high-value, insight-led B2B service that helps organisations identify and access new commercial opportunities within their target markets.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you’ll take ownership of the full new-business sales cycle, from initial prospecting and qualification through to presentation, negotiation and close.

The typical sales cycle is relatively short, generally 2–12 weeks, so we’re particularly interested in candidates who have experience working in a fast-paced B2B environment where they are expected to consistently convert opportunities into revenue.

Day to day, you’ll be:

• Identifying and targeting new B2B clients
• Generating your own opportunities through cold calling, email and LinkedIn
• Building, managing and progressing a healthy sales pipeline
• Speaking with senior commercial and business decision-makers
• Understanding a prospect's market, challenges and growth objectives
• Delivering consultative sales presentations and pitches
• Demonstrating clear commercial value and ROI
• Managing objections and negotiating commercial terms
• Closing new business within a typical 2–12 week sales cycle
• Developing relationships that can generate recurring revenue
• Working towards individual revenue and new-business targets

What Are We Looking For?

We’re keeping the sector background relatively open. Your sales track record is more important than the industry you've worked in.

You should be able to demonstrate:

• Proven experience in a Business Development Manager, New Business Manager or similar B2B sales role
• A strong track record of winning and closing new business
• Experience managing a short-to-medium sales cycle, ideally around 2–12 weeks
• Evidence of consistently hitting or exceeding revenue targets
• Confidence generating your own leads and opportunities
• Experience managing the entire sales process from prospecting through to close
• Strong negotiation and closing skills
• The ability to sell based on value, ROI and commercial impact rather than price alone
• Confidence dealing with senior-level decision-makers

Experience selling B2B services, solutions, subscriptions or other intangible propositions would be particularly relevant.

Potential backgrounds could include:

• SaaS / Technology
• Business Intelligence
• Market Research
• Data & Insights
• Professional Services
• Business Services
• Consultancy
• Lead Generation / Intelligence

What's On Offer?

• £50,000 – £60,000 basic salary
• £80,000 OTE
• Uncapped commission
• Hybrid / work-from-home flexibility
• Established and commercially proven proposition
• Opportunity to work with major B2B organisations
• Genuine autonomy over your own new-business pipeline
• Clear progression opportunities for high performers
• Growing sales team with significant further expansion planned

This opportunity would suit a commercially driven BDM who enjoys hunting for new business, running their own sales process and closing deals.

Looking for more than just another marketing job?

This is an opportunity to join a business that is genuinely going places.

With ambitious growth plans, continued investment and marketing at the heart of its commercial strategy, this is a business that recognises the value of great marketing and the people behind it.

You'll work directly alongside one of the company's founders, an experienced marketing professional who has built and grown the brand over many years. Rather than being left to figure things out alone, you'll receive genuine mentoring, coaching and exposure to every aspect of modern B2B marketing.

If you're naturally curious, commercially minded and passionate about developing your skills, you'll struggle to find a better opportunity locally.

Why this role is different

This isn't a business where marketing is seen as an afterthought.

Marketing drives sales, generates opportunities and influences business decisions. Your ideas will be listened to, your contribution will be visible, and good work doesn't go unnoticed.

If you're someone who enjoys learning, thrives on variety and wants to build a long-term career with a company that invests in its people, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You'll become an integral part of a growing marketing function, taking ownership of a wide variety of projects whilst working closely with senior leadership.

No two days will be the same. One day you could be interviewing engineers to produce a technical case study, the next analysing campaign performance, planning content or producing marketing material for exhibitions and customer events.

You'll be encouraged to challenge ideas, bring fresh thinking and continuously develop your commercial understanding of both the business and its customers.

What you'll be doing

• Creating engaging articles, blogs, case studies and website content.
• Writing compelling copy across digital and traditional marketing channels.
• Supporting content strategy and helping increase brand awareness and lead generation.
• Creating presentations, brochures, exhibition material and marketing collateral.
• Managing website updates and content through WordPress/CMS.
• Supporting email marketing campaigns and social media activity.
• Monitoring campaign performance using Google Analytics and recommending improvements.
• Building relationships across the business to understand technical products and turn complex information into engaging customer-focused content.
• Researching customers, markets and competitors to identify new commercial opportunities.

We're looking for someone who...

• Ideally has a qualification in a relevant subject
• Has solid experience working within a marketing role for a commercial business
• Loves writing and takes pride in producing high-quality content.
• Is commercially aware and enjoys understanding how marketing contributes to business growth.
• Is naturally inquisitive and always looking to learn something new.
• Enjoys speaking with people across a business and isn't afraid to ask questions.
• Can work independently whilst managing multiple projects.
• Has experience with WordPress or another CMS.
• Has exposure to Google Analytics.
• Has used Mailchimp or similar email marketing platforms.
• Has experience with Canva, with Adobe Creative Suite experience beneficial.
• Has a full UK driving licence and can commute to the office five days per week.

This role would suit someone who...

Has outgrown their first marketing position.

Perhaps you're looking for more ownership, broader experience and the opportunity to learn from someone who has successfully built a marketing function from the ground up.

You don't need to know everything already.

Attitude, curiosity, commercial awareness and a genuine desire to improve are far more important than industry experience. If you're prepared to learn, you'll be supported every step of the way.

What's in it for you?

• c£28,000-£33,000 salary depending on experience.
• Annual company bonus.
• Private healthcare.
• Direct mentoring from one of the business founders with extensive marketing expertise.
• Genuine investment in your professional development.
• Recognition and reward for delivering great work and taking ownership.
• Exposure to every aspect of B2B marketing, not just one small area.
• Long-term career opportunities within a business with ambitious growth plans.
• A collaborative team where ideas are welcomed and initiative is encouraged.
