As a result, this position is ideally suited to an established industry professional who enjoys developing long-term partnerships, identifying opportunities within existing accounts and representing a business that consistently delivers high-quality projects.

You will take ownership of an established portfolio of accounts whilst also identifying and securing opportunities from new contacts, referrals and market networks.

Maintaining regular engagement with key decision-makers across client organisations. Identifying upcoming projects and securing opportunities at the earliest stages. Supporting bid and tender submissions where required. Working alongside operational teams to ensure client expectations are consistently exceeded.

Commercial awareness and a strong understanding of project lifecycles. A proactive but consultative approach to business development. What's on Offer? Basic salary of 70,000 - 80,000. Highly attractive performance-related bonus scheme. Established client base generating significant repeat business. Supportive and collaborative leadership team. Mature, relationship-focused environment. Excellent autonomy and flexibility. Long-term career progression opportunities. The chance to represent a highly respected business with a strong market reputation. Why Apply? For experienced business development professionals who are tired of high-pressure sales cultures, unrealistic KPIs and constant cold acquisition activity, this represents a genuinely refreshing opportunity. You'll inherit relationships that have been built over many years, work with a respected delivery team and focus on what you do best-developing trusted partnerships that create long-term business success. This is a position where credibility, experience and relationship-building ability are valued far more than aggressive sales tactics, making it an ideal move for a seasoned professional looking for a rewarding role with substantial earning potential and an excellent work-life balance.
