Business Development Executive in Coventry

Business Development Executive in Coventry

Coventry Full-Time On-site
Murray Uniforms

We’re looking for a someone who can get us in front of the senior stakeholders at blue-chip companies who decide what thousands of people wear to work every day.

  • Experience in a customer-facing role such as sales, recruitment, account management or hospitality (ideal)
  • Confidence on the phone and face to face with senior stakeholders (essential)
  • Evidence of using AI in personal or study projects, such as a workflow or tool you built (essential)
  • Happy to travel across the UK, Europe and America for networking events (essential)
  • Experience with Apollo or a similar sales engagement tool (ideal)

You'll fit right in if:

  • Resilient: You'll call a senior executive and call again next week. You don't take a no personally.
  • Curious and creative: You research before you reach out. You'd rather test a new route in than send the same email again.
  • Comfortable with AI: You see automation as a chance to grow. You'll automate your own admin so you can move beyond the role.
  • Relationship builder: You build trust quickly with people at every level, you’re eloquent and articulate.
  • Organised and accurate: You plan your own week, complete your follow ups on time and keep the CRM up to date.

This role isn't for you if:

  • You're not confident speaking to strangers or picking up the phone
  • You'd prefer quantity over quality
  • You see AI as a threat to your job rather than a way to grow beyond it
  • You want to close deals yourself from day one
  • You don't like travelling or attending networking events

ABOUT THE ROLE

Department purpose: Win the attention of people-led and design-led brands.

Role overview

You’ll be building relationships and booking the first meeting with senior stakeholders at blue-chip prospects. Murray plans to grow 30% year on year and every new client starts with an Initial Exploratory Meeting (IEM). You'll take The Science of Uniform® to senior stakeholders at brands such as Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, B&Q and Iceland. You'll own every IEM generated through marketing and business development.

What you'll be doing

  • Conversion: You'll turn marketing qualified leads into IEMs. You'll respond fast with personalised comms and follow our MQL to IEM process.
  • One-to-one outreach: You'll find creative routes to senior stakeholders at our priority accounts. You'll react to industry news and use the phone, personalised email, LinkedIn, letters and introductions.
  • Attending Events: You'll represent Murray at sector events and own the guest list for our own. You'll work the room, host our guests and follow up every conversation until it becomes an IEM.
  • Murray-Hosted Events: You will own the guest list and invitations for our own events, host attendees on the day and turn their interest into IEMs.
  • IEM Preparation & Research: You'll prepare the sales team before every IEM to ensure a seamless transition and ensure each meeting starts with a clear understanding of the client's business.
  • CRM: You'll keep our CRM accurate. Every contact, conversation and outcome is logged so the team can report with confidence.
