We’re on the hunt for an experienced and successful B2B Sales / BD Manager to join an incredibly successful international organisation as their first UK Sales / Business Development Manager.
Joining what will feel like a startup environment, yet with the security, reputation and magnitude of a global organisation, the Business Development Manager will be tasked with securing significant contracts with national organisations and helping to establish and then propel the UK arm of the business, growing a team as the business expands.
We’re looking for a business savvy and results-driven sales professional who is looking for a new challenge and would jump at the opportunity to join a fast-growing organisation and expand their offerings in the UK market.

If you also happen to have a ‘little black book’ of contacts you have worked with previously in this sector, that will be the icing on the cake!
Role location:
Our client is flexible on the location of the successful candidate (within the UK) as this is an independent, remote working role, however, it will include a great deal of travel to attend client meetings throughout the UK and company meetings in Ireland, therefore being centrally located (Birmingham / Midlands / Scottish Borders etc) may be best suited to this role.

* Identifying, targeting and acquiring new clients for this business through prospecting, networking and utilising contacts within the industry
* Building, managing and maintaining a robust pipeline of opportunities

* Building and maintaining collaborative relationships with internal departments including engineers
* Managing the sales process and ensuring client satisfaction
* Maintaining relations with existing clients
* Undertaking marketing activities as required
* Growing the team when required
* Maintaining an accurate database / CRM
What we’re looking for:
* Demonstrable success in Sales / Business Development roles within a similar organisation / industry (electrical engineering, electricity distribution, networks etc.)
* A relevant degree (electrical engineering or similar) is advantageous
* Good understanding of electricity distribution and networks in the UK
* Willingness and ability to travel regularly, primarily within the UK
* Entrepreneurial and business-savvy individual
* Start-up mindset, driven to build success
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to build and maintain strong business relationships
* A ‘little black book’ of industry contacts is highly desirable
* IT literate with experience of using a CRM
* Ability to travel regularly throughout the UK
What’s on offer?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an international organisation at a point of rapid-growth, spearheading the expansion into the UK market. Our client is offering a competitive basic salary £60k-£75k, plus a generous bonus scheme. You could be based anywhere in the UK for this role, but will need to be able to travel regularly throughout the UK and Ireland.
