Aquilon is a Birmingham digital agency helping founder-led SMEs fix their systems and their marketing. Custom software and AI automation on one side, SEO, branding and performance marketing on the other. Most agencies do one. We do both, and the overlap is where the interesting deals live.
We are hiring our first Business Development Manager to own new business from first conversation to signed contract, working directly with our founder. You will not be handed a script or a dialler. You will be handed a strong offer, real case studies, and the room to build the sales motion properly.
What you'll do
- Open conversations with founders and managing directors at established UK SMEs.
- Run discovery, build proposals, and close Media retainers yourself.
- Lead software deals alongside our founder as you build confidence.
- Spot upsell opportunities with existing clients.
- Keep an honest pipeline and forecast, reviewed weekly.
- Represent Aquilon at events across Birmingham and the Midlands.
What you'll bring
- 2+ years winning new B2B business, in an agency, software, IT or consultancy setting.
- Confident opening cold conversations and talking business, not just pitching.
- Curious about software and AI. No coding needed, but you get what systems do for a business.
- Organised, self-driven, and honest about pipeline reality.
- Commutable to Birmingham and happy to work hybrid from Brindley Place.
