The Opportunity

We’re looking for a driven Business Development Executive to join a well-established, market-leading business.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in B2B sales who enjoys being out in the market, building relationships, and developing new opportunities, while also managing and growing existing accounts.

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your territory, working across a mix of account management, strategic projects, and new business development.

You will be responsible for managing and developing existing accounts, alongside identifying and converting new business opportunities across the UK.

Your time will be broadly split across:

Proactive new business generation

This is a varied, hands-on sales role suited to someone who is organised, proactive, and commercially minded.

  * Support the management and development of key retail and online accounts

  * Work closely with internal teams (marketing, operations, finance) on projects and launches

  * Review performance and identify opportunities for growth

New Business Development

  * Identify, prospect, and develop new B2B opportunities

  * Build and manage a consistent sales pipeline

  * Engage new customers and convert opportunities into revenue

  * Support the full sales cycle from initial contact through to close

  * Work towards and achieve sales targets

What We’re Looking For

  * Experience in a B2B sales or business development role

  * A proactive approach to winning new business and developing accounts

  * Strong communication and relationship-building skills

  * Good organisation and time management

  * Commercial awareness and a willingness to learn

  * Comfortable working across both new business and account management

  * Willingness to travel across the UK

Sector experience is open — we’re interested in individuals who can demonstrate a strong sales approach and the ability to build relationships.

What’s in It for You

  * Competitive salary + performance-based bonus

  * A role with autonomy and ownership of your territory

  * A varied position combining field sales, account management, and new business

  * Opportunity to grow within a stable and expanding business
