Business Development Manager – New Business (Manufacturing)

Location: Stafford (UK-wide travel)
Salary: £55,000 basic + uncapped commission

This is NOT an account management role. This is a pure new business role.

We are looking for a genuine new business hunter — someone whose instinct is to find opportunities, open doors, and win business.

The Role

This role is focused entirely on new customer acquisition.

You will:

  * Identify and target OEMs and manufacturers across the UK

  * Engage decision makers and generate new opportunities from cold

  * Build a live, active sales pipeline

  * Work closely with internal engineering and estimating teams to create commercial solutions

  * Present manufacturing capability confidently and professionally

  * Negotiate and close profitable new business

  * Hand over mature accounts internally — then move on and hunt again

You will not inherit a customer base.
You will build your own.

This role exists to create revenue where none existed before.

What You’ll Be Doing

  * Prospecting new OEM and manufacturing customers

  * Cold outreach, referrals, networking and LinkedIn engagement

  * Booking and attending new business meetings

  * Managing opportunities through CRM

  * Building technical and commercial proposals

  * Negotiating and closing profitable new customer wins

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6 months:

  * A measurable, active pipeline

  * Qualified opportunities being quoted

  * New OEM/manufacturer relationships opened

  * First customer wins secured

Longer term, this role becomes a key driver of strategic growth.

Commission Structure

  * 5% commission on all profitable new business won

  * Paid for 12 months from first order

  * Uncapped

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll need:

  * A proven track record of winning new business from cold

  * Experience selling into manufacturing, engineering or technical markets

  * Confidence dealing with buyers, engineers, operations managers and directors

  * Strong commercial instinct

  * CRM discipline and pipeline management skills

  * High resilience and self‑drive

Before You Apply

Do not include the following in your job application, CV, or cover letter:

Bank details.
National Insurance number.
Date of birth.

You should not be asked for payment or irrelevant information. If you have concerns about a job advert or employer, seek guidance on how to proceed.
