Exceptional Long-Term Career Progression

We're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Business Development Manager to join a highly respected and established organisation in a newly created role. This opportunity is ideal for a proven new business professional from a SaaS, solutions-based, consultancy, learning & development, HR technology, or professional services background who has successfully sold into larger organisations and knows how to engage senior decision-makers.

You'll be comfortable operating at a strategic level, building relationships with HR Directors, Chief People Officers, Learning & Development leaders, and other senior stakeholders. Most importantly, you'll have a track record of opening doors that others can't, creating opportunities, and converting them into long-term commercial partnerships. This is a genuine growth opportunity where you'll have the autonomy to shape your own success while contributing to the future growth of the business.

You'll be responsible for identifying, engaging and winning new clients, developing a strong pipeline of opportunities, and driving revenue growth through a consultative, solution-led sales approach.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Proactively generating new business opportunities through targeted outreach, networking, referrals and strategic prospecting
  • Building relationships with senior HR, People, Talent and Learning & Development leaders
  • Identifying organisational challenges and positioning tailored solutions that deliver measurable value
  • Managing the full sales cycle from initial engagement through to negotiation, close and onboarding
  • Building and maintaining a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities
  • Collaborating with internal stakeholders to deliver exceptional client outcomes
  • Consistently achieving and exceeding sales targets and performance objectives

About you - to be successful, you'll bring:

  • A proven track record of winning new business within a SaaS, solutions-based, consultancy or consultative sales environment
  • Experience selling into medium to large organisations with significant budgets and multiple stakeholders
  • Demonstrable success engaging and influencing senior decision-makers including HR Directors, Chief People Officers, Learning & Development Directors and senior leadership teams
  • The ability to create opportunities where none currently exist and confidently open doors at executive level
  • A highly self-sufficient, proactive and resilient approach
  • Strong commercial awareness, negotiation and relationship-building skills
  • Experience managing complex sales cycles and multiple stakeholder relationships

Why?

  • Established, respected and growing organisation
  • Newly created role with the opportunity to make a genuine impact
  • Hybrid working – 4 days home-based, 1 day in the office
  • Uncapped commission structure
  • Significant long-term career progression opportunities
  • Supportive and collaborative culture

If you're a high-performing business development professional who thrives on creating opportunities, building senior-level relationships and winning new business, we'd love to hear from you.

Please note: due to volume, we are unable to respond to unsuccessful applications.
