We're working with a growing digital agency that is looking to bring in a Business Development Executive to support its next stage of growth. This is a relationship-led role, working closely with the Managing Director and representing the business across the industry. You'll focus on bringing on new clients for its SEO, Google Ads and website services.
What you'll be doing
This is a new business role, but it's not about endless cold calling. You'll be building relationships, developing opportunities and converting warm leads into new clients. Working alongside the Managing Director, you'll become an important part of the business development activity and a familiar face within their industry.
You'll manage the sales process from initial conversations through to proposals and signed agreements, bringing on new clients for SEO, Google Ads and website services. You'll also follow up opportunities coming through events, industry publications, the website and wider outreach, making sure leads are followed up and the CRM and sales pipeline are kept up to date.
A big part of the opportunity will be helping the business develop a new area of growth. You'll build relationships with potential partners and operators, attend industry events and get a good understanding of what the market needs to help shape the services on offer. The ambition is to grow this into a significant revenue stream for the business over the next one to two years.
You'll also represent the business at conferences and trade shows, helping build its reputation and network across the sector.
The clients you bring on will remain yours to look after. You'll manage the relationship and handover to the delivery team, spotting opportunities to develop accounts further. The wider team takes care of delivering the services, allowing you to focus on relationships and business growth.
What experience you'll need to apply
- Experience in business development, sales or account growth, ideally within a B2B environment.
- A good understanding of digital marketing services and products, particularly SEO, Google Ads and website development.
- Experience selling digital marketing services or other related B2B solutions would be beneficial.
- A track record of building relationships and converting opportunities into new business.
- Confidence running sales conversations, preparing proposals and closing deals.
- Experience managing a sales pipeline and keeping CRM records up to date.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- An interest in the removals, storage, property or wider digital marketing sectors would be beneficial.
- Comfortable representing a business at industry events and travelling across the UK.
What you'll get in return for your experience
- A £35,000 basic salary with uncapped commission and an OTE of around £58,000.
- You'll also receive a fully electric company car, laptop, mobile phone, workplace pension and 23 days' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days with service.
- Travel, event and conference expenses are covered.
The role is home-based, with UK-wide travel. There's also a further commission opportunity coming with the launch of a new product in Q1 2027.
What's next?
If you're a relationship-led business developer looking for an opportunity to develop your career, earn well and make a real impact within a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
