Relationship Account Manager (Business Development) in Leicester

Join us, be part of more. We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

About your team: At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it. We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.

Field‐based with home working. Applicants must be comfortable with regular travel. Are you a driven, high‐energy Business Development professional who wants to make a real impact in the transition to Net Zero? British Gas New Business is growing fast—and we’re looking for someone with passion, resilience and a growth mindset to join our established team and help shape the future of low‐carbon solutions in the UK. Whether your BD experience comes from energy, working with developers or any other industry, what matters most is your hunger to win, your ability to build strong relationships, and your enthusiasm for helping customers move towards a greener future.
