Senior Relationship & Business Development Manager in Manchester

Most senior BD roles promise support then bury you in spreadsheets. This one delivers near-zero admin, uncapped commission, and professional support from day one.

£35,000 base + uncapped commission (realistic £50,000+ OTE) | Remote-first | Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham or London

HERE'S HOW THIS ACTUALLY WORKS

• You don’t do cold calling. You leverage your property and construction experience to make strategic introductions that convert.
• You don’t do admin. Professional business admin support handles your CRM, scheduling, paperwork, follow-ups and coordination.
• You don’t hit earning ceilings. Uncapped commission means your income grows with your results.

You focus on three things:

• Building relationships with senior decision-makers
• Making introductions that convert into revenue
• Earning what you’re actually worth

Here’s what changes:

• Your calendar fills with client meetings instead of internal catch-ups.
• Your pipeline moves faster because follow-ups happen without you chasing them.
• Your earnings increase because you’re doing what you’re actually good at.

One of our current team members put it like this: "I forgot what it felt like to actually enjoy my job."

WHY MOST "SENIOR" BD ROLES ARE BROKEN (AND WHY THIS ONE ISN'T)

You were hired to build relationships and drive revenue. Instead, you spend Monday mornings updating spreadsheets. Tuesday afternoon in internal alignment meetings. Wednesday fighting with the CRM. Thursday writing reports nobody reads. Friday catching up on the client work you should have been doing all week.

You’re good at what you do. Your conversion rates prove it. Your network is solid. But you’re stuck doing admin that a junior could handle while being paid like a senior professional expected to deliver senior results. And here’s the real problem: The better you perform, the more admin you get. More clients = more paperwork. More revenue = more internal reporting. Success punishes you.

We fixed that problem. You get professional admin support. Near-zero paperwork. More time client-facing. Uncapped earning potential.

ABOUT 6TINE

6tine is the UK’s only commercial partnerships agency specialising exclusively in property and construction. Built on one simple principle: relationships that are the right fit convert. Every time.

We introduce some of the biggest developers in residential, commercial and industrial across the UK and Europe to contractors, suppliers, land opportunities and JV partners that convert into actual revenue. We don’t do generic networking. We don’t run a database. We deliver introductions that convert.

Our numbers:

• 65-70% introduction-to-order conversion rate (industry average is 15-25%)
• 11x average ROI for clients
• Doubled turnover two years running
• Active presence at MIPIM - operating at the highest level of the industry

We’ve been operating for 9 years. We’re not a startup finding its feet. We’re a fast-scaling business that has proven its model, built its reputation, and is now expanding its team to meet demand that is outpacing capacity. The credibility is established. The clients are live. The network is real.

You’re not joining to build something from scratch. You’re joining to grow something that’s already working.

WHY THIS ROLE IS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT

Professional business admin support From day one, you have professional admin support handling the operational workload so you can stay client-facing, strategic, and focused on growth.

Professional business admin support handles:

• All CRM updates and reporting
• Diary and scheduling management
• Documentation and process admin
• Follow-ups and internal coordination

Everything that keeps you off the phone and out of meetings

Near-zero admin Client meeting? Admin schedules it. Follow-up needed? They handle it. CRM update? Done. Proposal? Formatted and sent. You show up, build the relationship, close the deal.

Clear structure and support

Remote-first with real flexibility Work from home. Work from a coffee shop. Work from your kitchen table in Leeds or a co-working space in London. Results matter. Location doesn’t. Full-time hours, flexi-time, no weekends.

Unlimited holidays Take a week. Take two weeks. Take three. As long as clients are happy and revenue targets are hit, we’re happy.

Company expense card You get a company expense card for client meetings. No approval processes. No submitting receipts and waiting for reimbursement. Client-related expenses are covered.

Ongoing training and development Constant training to sharpen your skills and stay ahead in the sector. We invest in your development because better-trained professionals deliver better results.

Real career progression We’re scaling fast. Early hires will shape the business as we grow. Clear progression opportunities as we expand.

Premium incentives Soho Farmhouse, spa days, wine tastings, race days. Expenses-paid trips across the UK and overseas including London and the South of France. Annual team holiday when revenue targets are hit.

Uncapped commission No "maximum bonus." No "subject to performance review." Introduce a developer to a contractor, they do a £2m job, you get paid your percentage. Your commercial success directly impacts your income. Top performers are clearing £55k+ in year one. We’ve structured this so there’s no ceiling.

• Meet developers, contractors, suppliers and understand what they actually need
• Make introductions that convert

Two questions before you apply:

• Do you have minimum 2 years in relationship management or BD, with experience in property/construction?
• Are you comfortable with structured support and accountability?

If yes to both, apply now. If no to either, this isn’t the right role.

This is a senior property and construction relationship role for professionals who want proper operational support, minimal admin, strong earning potential, and a structured framework to succeed.

The question isn’t whether this role exists. The question is whether you’re ready to stop drowning in admin and start building relationships again.
