Business Development Manager 

Salary: £70,000 to £90,000 doe. Plus Car Allowance and Uncapped Comms

Location: East Midlands 

The Role

You’ll be joining our client’s growing commercial team, working closely with senior leadership to expand their client base and help shape their future growth. Day-to-day, you’ll be identifying opportunities, meeting prospects, and building a strong sales pipeline that converts into long term relationships.

Your success will come from being proactive, curious, and confident in opening doors. If you thrive on hitting targets and seeing the direct impact of your work, this role will give you plenty of scope.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Generating and nurturing new leads, from first conversations to confirmed business wins
  
  

• Building and maintaining a healthy pipeline, keeping everything updated in the CRM
  
  

• Researching industries, organisations, and decision-makers to uncover opportunities
  
  

• Reaching out to prospects — whether that’s calls, emails, networking, or events — and sparking meaningful conversations
  
  

• Supporting the development of marketing and sales campaigns to drive growth
  
  

• Keeping your finger on the pulse of the market and competitors, bringing insight back into the team
  
  

• Attending client meetings, site visits, and industry events to represent the business
  
  

• Collaborating with colleagues to create proposals, pitches, and sales materials that win
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• A proven track record in sales, business development, or client-facing roles
  
  

• Someone who is proactive, resilient, and comfortable working independently
  
  

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills — whether on the phone, in person, or via email
  
  

• Confident using CRM systems and digital tools to manage your pipeline
  
  

• A natural networker who can turn connections into opportunities
  
  

• Organised, target-driven, and motivated by success
  
  

Why Work For Them?

Our client is an ambitious, growing business that’s investing in their future  and in the people who help drive it.

By joining their team, you’ll be part of an organisation that:

• Values entrepreneurial thinking and gives you the freedom to make an impact
  
  

• Invests in developing long term client relationships rather than quick wins
  
  

• Encourages collaboration, support, and shared success across the business
  
  

• Offers real opportunity for career progression as the company continues to expand
  
  

This is your chance to step into a role where you’ll be trusted to deliver, empowered to grow, and rewarded for your success.
