NYES is a leader in delivering high-quality traded services predominantly into the Education sector. We are now looking to extend our reach into additional sectors and are seeking a Business Development Manager. This role offers a unique opportunity to play a key part in shaping that growth and driving commercial success.
The role will initially be leading NYES Catering & Cleaning in gaining new business within the wider public sector and the private sector. As a commercially minded and experienced professional, you will be responsible for identifying and securing new business opportunities, building strong relationships with prospective clients, and converting leads into long-term partnerships.
You will be comfortable and confident in working within the target footprint, creating your own leads, picking up the phone and selling the service, through to sales meetings/pitches, and finalising the deal. Working closely with colleagues across NYES, you will develop and deliver sales and business development strategies, manage a dynamic pipeline of opportunities, and represent the organisation at networking events and conferences.
Your ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery will be essential in achieving ambitious income and growth targets. We are looking for an individual with a proven track record in B2B sales, lead generation, and market development, alongside strong communication and relationship-building skills.
In return, North Yorkshire Council offers the chance to work within a supportive and forward-thinking environment where innovation and collaboration are valued. This is more than just a sales role – it is an opportunity to influence growth, lead change, and make a meaningful impact within a respected public service organisation.
