About The Body Doctor

The Body Doctor Ltd is a multi-award-winning health and wellbeing company based in Huddersfield. We're the team behind The Eye Doctor range – clinically proven eye care products trusted by optical professionals to treat Dry Eye Disease, Blepharitis, and MGD. Our products are recommended in thousands of practices across the UK – and we’re just getting started. We’re growing, and so is our need for someone friendly, organised and motivated to help us keep our optical customers happy, engaged and thriving.

Role Overview

As Optical Business Development Manager, you’ll be the main point of contact for a portfolio of optical accounts – mostly independent practices and small groups. You’ll be responsible for managing day-to-day communications with your accounts, introducing new products and promotions, and providing the customers with support. It’s a mostly phone and email-based role, based at our Huddersfield HQ, with room to grow as you develop.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain strong relationships with optical customers across your account base
• Promote new products, services and training to help drive sales and engagement
• Manage repeat orders, customer queries and product updates with speed and accuracy
• Stay on top of account activity using our CRM system – follow-ups, notes, and next steps
• Collaborate with the Sales Director to support account growth and retention targets
• Work with the marketing team to make sure practices have the right POS, materials and support
• Collect and share customer feedback to help us continually improve
• Maintain a high level of product knowledge

Key Requirements

• A great communicator – confident, friendly, and comfortable speaking with people over the phone
• Well organised – you can juggle multiple tasks, manage your time, and stay on top of the detail
• Motivated, proactive, and eager to learn – you don’t need chasing to get things done
• Experience in sales, customer service or admin is helpful – but not essential
• Tech-savvy enough to handle a CRM system, email tools, and general office software
• Interested in health, wellbeing, or optics (or at least curious enough to learn!)
• A team player who wants to be part of something growing and meaningful
