Business Development Manager — Aquilon Tech
Location- Birmingham( Brindley Place)
About the role
Aquilon is a Birmingham digital agency helping founder-led SMEs fix their systems and their marketing — custom software/AI automation on one side, SEO/branding/performance marketing on the other. We're hiring our first New Business Manager to own new business from first conversation to signed contract, working directly with our founder.
What you'll do
- Open conversations with founders and MDs at established UK SMEs
- Run discovery, build proposals, and close Media retainers yourself

- Keep an honest pipeline and forecast, reviewed weekly
- Represent Aquilon at events across Birmingham and the Midlands
What you'll earn
- One full month's fee for every Media retainer signed
- 15% of project value on every software project won (uncapped)
Who you are
- 2+ years winning new B2B business (agency, software, IT, or consultancy)
- Confident opening cold conversations and talking business, not just pitching
- Curious about software/AI — no coding needed, but you get what systems do for a business
- Organised, self-driven, honest about pipeline reality
- Commutable to Birmingham
Nice to have
- Experience selling into manufacturing, construction, or professional services
- Existing network across the Midlands business community
