Graduate Business Development Executive in London

Salary: Up to £30k + Uncapped commission + Bonus scheme

Location: Hybrid (London-based with flexibility)

Ready to kick-start your sales career in a fast-growing renewable energy business? At PPAYA, we’re helping shape the future of how renewable power is bought and sold, and we’re looking for a confident, ambitious self-starter to join our commercial team. This is a brilliant opportunity for a recent graduate, early-career professional, or someone from a customer-facing background who wants to break into B2B sales. You do not need renewable energy experience, we will give you the training, tools and support to learn and thrive. What matters is your energy, resilience, curiosity and hunger to succeed.

You’ll be right within the thick of the action, finding new opportunities, starting conversations, booking meetings and learning how successful sales relationships are built and maintained. This is a role for someone who wants to learn fast, build confidence quickly and see a clear link between effort, results and reward.

What you’ll be doing:

• Researching target companies and spotting new sales opportunities across the UK renewables market
• Reaching out to prospects by phone, email and LinkedIn to spark interest in PPAYA
• Booking meetings and supporting the wider commercial team to convert opportunities
• Learning how renewable energy deals work, including PPAs, with coaching from experienced colleagues
• Building relationships with prospects and customers in a professional, confident and engaging way
• Keeping CRM records accurate and tracking activity, pipeline and progress against targets
• Working with marketing on campaigns, events and lead generation ideas
• Representing PPAYA at events, exhibitions and industry forums as your confidence grows
• Learning fast, asking great questions and continuously improving your sales approach

You’ll thrive here if you are:

• Competitive, ambitious and motivated by targets, progress and recognition
• Confident speaking to new people and able to build rapport quickly
• Resilient, positive and able to bounce back from knock-backs
• Curious and coachable — you want feedback, training and the chance to improve
• Organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership of your activity
• A team player who brings energy, accountability and a sense of fun
• A recent graduate or early-career candidate looking for a long-term career in sales
• Energy industry experience is preferred but not essential

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive salary, uncapped commission and bonus potential — your effort can directly shape your earnings
• Hands-on sales coaching so you can build skills quickly and confidently
• A clear route to grow into senior sales, account management or business development roles
• A high-energy, supportive team where wins are celebrated and ideas are welcomed
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Private healthcare with Vitality after probation
• Annual company getaway — recent years have included Tuscany, the Algarve and Budapest
• Regular socials, incentives and team events
• Company pension and hybrid working, with time spent in our London office, alongside the commercial team

If you’re ambitious, resilient and ready to put your energy into a career with real progression, we’d love to hear from you. Bring the drive — we’ll provide the training, support and opportunity.
